• From Your President…
• Policies and Forms: HSD Complaint Procedures for discrimination, hazing, bullying, intimidation, etc.
• HEA Anti-Racist Anti-Bias Teacher Coalition survey request: The goal of the Anti-Racist, Anti-Bias Teacher Coalition (ARABTC) is to work to identify and change the structures within our association that continue to perpetuate systemic racism. We believe that, in order to make that change possible, we must center the voice and experiences of our BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ members as the driving force of this work. With that in mind, we are seeking to hear from any and every member who is willing to share their story and partner with us in this mission. We look forward to getting to know our members better.

Join with us this year, and every year, to help create the schools our students deserve!

Our Voice. Our Strength. Our Solidarity.

HEA is not just an organization that represents us. WE are HEA! Every member brings a voice, experience, and perspective that strengthens our collective power.

Together, we protect our contractual rights, advocate for fair and equitable working conditions, support one another in resolving workplace concerns, and ensure our collective voices are heard wherever decisions are made that impact our profession, our working conditions, and our students’ learning conditions.

Through our collective efforts, we share information, provide resources, offer leadership and professional learning opportunities, and build the knowledge and confidence to advocate for ourselves and one another.

Our union is strongest when we are informed, engaged, and united in SOLIDARITY. Whether we are supporting a colleague, addressing a workplace concern, advocating for improved resources, or united together at the bargaining table, every member plays an important role.

We believe that educators deserve the time, resources, respect, and support necessary to focus on what they do best, TEACH!!!

You are not alone. We have each other’s backs.

Now more than ever, our collective voice matters. Together, we have the power to protect what we have achieved, advocate for what we need, and shape the future of public education.

We ARE the union. We ARE stronger together.

Join us in building the schools our students deserve and the working conditions our educators need to thrive!
