(re-post...if anyone missed the post from a few days ago...this presentation is tomorrow!)
The Cabot School Board will be hosting a presentation and discussion of the current draft of the school's Alternate Governance Structure proposal in the Cabot School Library at 6:45 PM this coming Monday, December 4th.
Under the terms of Act 46, any school district that has chosen not to merge into a larger district must develop and submit an AGS proposal to the Vermont State Board of Education detailing how it plans to meet the goals of Act 46 without merging. During 2018, the State Board will review each AGS proposal which it receives. In consultation with the Vermont Agency of Education, the State Board has the authority through Act 46 to allow a district like Cabot to move forward with the plan laid out in its AGS proposal; it may also reject a district's AGS proposal and act to merge that district with another district or districts.
Since making the decision in mid-October to maintain and improve our high school program in Cabot rather than tuition our high school students to other schools, our school board has been at work developing this AGS proposal. Some of the information in the proposal is data required by the state, while other sections are unique to Cabot. We have been greatly helped in the process of building this document by the efforts of a "working group" of community volunteers who have gathered a good deal of valuable information for us.
The finished AGS proposal is due in to the State Board at the end of this month. At this time, we'd like to share this draft version with interested community members and get feedback on it prior to completing the document during the next several weeks. We hope that folks will consider coming down to the library Monday evening to have a look at this proposal, which will play a huge part in determining the future of our school.
The draft AGS proposal will also be posted on the Cabot School website in the next several days (cabotschool.org). If you are unable to make it to the meeting this week, we would still appreciate any feedback you have on the proposal as we finish work on it this month.
Sincerely,
The Cabot School Board
