From Our President

"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 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.

As educators, we’ve all seen the shift in schools—students constantly tethered to screens, even during instructional time. New Hampshire’s new bell‑to‑bell cellphone prohibition marks a critical step forward for student learning and well‑being. NEA‑New Hampshire proudly supports this policy because it is grounded in educator experience. Read more from NEA-NH President Megan Tuttle about how educators can be involved in the implementation phase.

Summer is a time for educators to reflect on their successes and rest and recharge for the next school year.
