Officers & Committees

We want your voice heard. Click here for more information on YOUR FIRST BOARD MEETING.

Our goal is to make the South Hadley Public Schools system a better place to work and get an education.

The Executive Board is composed of representatives, elected officers, and appointed officers.

Representatives

Representatives from each unit serve on the board of directors and are chosen by those that work in the individual buildings. The number of representatives from each school is determined by the number of staff who work there. These people are the heart and soul of this union. They work in our buildings, they are trained by the MTA, they are the first line of defense if students or staff are being mistreated, and they vote for policy changes within our schools.

Executive Board

Every two years, anyone can run for President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer and Grievance Chair of the SHEA. For more information on what the responsibilities of these positions include click here.

The president also appoints other positions as needed. For more information on what the responsibilities of these positions include click here.
