Dear BRSU Community,
Last Thursday night several school board members virtually attended the Vermont Redistricting Task Force public forum at Leland and Gray High School. We were overwhelmed by the sea of support for our structure. We heard time and again, folks step up and speak about why their education system is important to their families and their communities, and that BRSU is the thread that is holding that together.
We want to say thank you to all of you who are standing at the meetings, writing letters, and working in our communities to help build support for maintaining the structure that currently exists. While we await the final maps the task force will present to legislators in December, please know that we are working behind the scenes to stay informed, communicate, and strategize ways to keep our entire structure intact. This includes maintaining and building high quality elementary and middle school educational opportunities and ensuring access to the independent schools that educate our students everyday. Your support helps us feel confident that the work we are doing is important and valued. We strongly believe that “all our kids are all of our kids,” and we will stay vigilant in our efforts to ensure the legislature grants us the space to continue to provide excellent educational opportunities for all of our students.
Respectfully,
Melanie Virgilio, Taconic and Green Regional School Board Chair
Dr. Randi Lowe, Superintendent of the Taconic and Green Regional School
