From Our President

Back-to-school is a moment filled with possibilities. Learning spaces are being prepared, students are arriving with hope, families are looking ahead with anticipation, and educators are ready to welcome them all into a new school year. But that hope meets a stark reality in 2026. Read more about how educators must meet this moment from NEA-NH President Megan Tuttle.

This year’s NEA Representative Assembly (RA) was held in Denver, Colorado over the Fourth of July. The NEA RA is the annual business meeting of the union. It is essentially our Delegate Assembly but with 6000+ more members attending!

"Thank you for showing up with patience and purpose, for adapting to whatever the year brought, and for continuing to believe in the power of learning."

"This week can’t just be about appreciation. It has to be about action."

"The question facing New Hampshire is not whether it values education. The numbers show that it does. The question is whether, as a state, we are willing to align our policies with that commitment—before the cracks in the system become harder to repair."

"New Hampshire voters have spoken in recent local school district meetings: by and large they resoundingly support their public schools and students and believe the State should be contributing their fair share."

As the state’s largest educator union, NEA-New Hampshire is committed to elevating your voices and values at the State House as lawmakers consider legislation that would impact your profession and public education broadly. 

NEA-NH President Megan Tuttle reflects on the support educators provide to New Hampshire's most vulnerable students throughout the year.

NEA-NH President Megan Tuttle marks American Education Week by sharing her appreciation for the dedicated educators who help make our schools safe, welcoming places for all students to learn.

It is tempting to, once again, provide you with a litany of challenges we face as educators. But you, most of all, already know what they are. Instead, what I want to talk about are those things that give me hope for the future. These hopes are grounded in recent events in New Hampshire.
