ACT 46 UPDATE
The Northshire Merger Committee continues to meet and develop the proposal that will be sent to the Vermont Agency of Education (AOE) for approval. Throughout the fall we will begin to hold public forums in each community to elicit public comments and questions. We continue trying to get the information about Act 46 and its potential impacts on our communities out to our community members as efficiently as possible. We have a website and a facebook page and have our regularly scheduled meeting dates and agendas posted on the BRSU website and our meetings are recorded and aired on GNAT-TV. It is important for each of us to learn as much as we can about this issue and to be involved. Below, I have provided a list of opportunities for you to learn more about Act 46 and the work of the Merger Committee. I welcome you to attend one of our upcoming meetings that will be held in Sunderland, please see the dates and times listed below.
