A change in state law will not change the relationship between the Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) Schools administration and the HSE Education Association (the teachers representative).  Superintendent Yvonne Stokes says with the change in law that says schools districts now have the option of discussions with the local teacher unions, HSE Schools will continue its policy of discussions with HSEA, with no change.

“We, as a district, believe in the importance of hearing the voice of our teachers,” Stokes says.  “While the option is a ‘may,’ we plan to have discussions.”

Stokes also offered a reminder of the Before The Bell celebration marking the start of a new school year.  This is the second year for this event, and will be held once again at the downtown Fishers Amphitheater, Thursday, August 3rd, 5:30-7:30PM.  The first day of school in the HSE District for students is Wednesday, August 9th.
