A Greeting from the President
Welcome to the website of the Napa Valley Educators Association. The NVEA is a chapter of the California Teachers Association (CTA) and the National Educators Association (NEA), and serves as the exclusive representative of certificated employees of the Napa Valley Unified School District, including of teachers, counselors and school nurses.
The intent of our website is twofold: first as a means for the Association to exchange timely information with
our members, and second; to provide a link for NVEA members to organizations and elected officials whose policies and actions influence public education and the well-being of public school employees.
As President of the NVEA, it is my sincere hope that our members finds this site useful, not only to learn of policies and practices that effect public education in Napa, but also to add their voices to the debate on
what constitutes quality education for all learners from kindergarten through high school.
Linda Hansen, President
