The SCS Administration and School Board will be presenting their annual budget forum in conjunction with an informational meeting on Act 46 on Tuesday, 11/10, in the school cafeteria
The Act 46 meeting will be from 7:00-7:30
The budget forum will begin at or about 7:30.
This budget forum is an opportunity for the community to participate in the early stages of the budget process and provide input/feedback.
For the Act 46 informational meeting, the study committee has prepared the following:
Act 46 School Consolidation in Chittenden South Supervisory Union
One of the biggest decisions facing voters of Chittenden South Supervisory Union (CSSU) this decade could be whether or not to merge all of the CSSU school districts into one school district.
For years, the school boards of Charlotte, Hinesburg, Shelburne, St. George, and Williston have cooperated closely to share many educational resources. With Vermont’s recent Act 46 School Consolidation Law, school boards are now required to consider taking action to formally consolidate governance of all schooling in CSSU.
In accordance with Act 46, a study committee has been formed. The CSSU Act 46 Study Committee, with representatives from each CSSU district, is charged with studying consolidating school governance. The committee shall prepare and submit a required report to the State Board of Education on the feasibility of combining all of the CSSU districts into one new district with one school board.
The CSSU Act 46 Study Committee welcomes community input.
The first in a series of public forums on school consolidation will be held in November. There will be one forum in each town, with Shelburne going first.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or any other member of the board and administration. (dconnery@cssu.org, akmiller@cssu.org, pbeaumont@cssu.org)
