Also, one or more teacher grants are awarded to teachers in Moultrie County each year. The next meeting of MCRTA is June 6 at 11:30 a.m., at the First United Methodist Church in Sullivan. Any former teacher who is retired from a school in Moultrie County, or any retired teacher living in Moultrie County is eligible to join MCRTA.
