The Hudson Teachers Association, Inc. (HEA) is the professional organization of more than 280 classroom teachers, specialized teaching personnel, school counselors and nurses.
The HEA is committed to providing the highest quality public education to all students of our community. The HEA works with its members to improve educational opportunities for all students and to promote and protect the professional rights and responsibilities of its members. We seek to promote the interests of educators, uphold high professional standards, and to advance the socioeconomic well being of educators.
HEA Statement Supporting Our Students
The Hudson Education Association (HEA) upholds the constitutional and human right to education for every child living in the United States. As a union of educators, it is our duty to speak out against injustice when any child’s fundamental right to learn is disrupted or inhibited.
Across the country and the state of Massachusetts, this right has come under threat at the hands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Students are carrying this anxiety into the classroom. Some students are navigating life without one of their caregivers, not knowing if and when they’ll be back. We see their empty seats. We feel both sorrow and anger.
As educators, we know a student’s learning environment should be defined by care and belonging rather than fear. The HEA will continue to uphold the rights of our community members to live, work, and advocate for themselves. In Hudson, our diversity is our strength. We stand together with our immigrant students, families, and neighbors. We hereby make a commitment to better serve these valued members of our community, especially in our public schools.
The HEA is you, the professional employees of the Hudson Public School System. The Hudson Education Association is the representative organization for the professional staff of the Hudson Public Schools, including teachers, librarians, counselors, school psychologists and nurses.
The HEA is governed by the HEA Executive Board and the HEA by-laws. The Executive Board consists of elected officers and building representatives, and chairpersons of standing committees, each of whom has one vote. Elections for officer positions are held annually, and the term of office is from September 1 to August 31. All members of the HEA are eligible to serve in these positions.
