For Immediate Release: June 12, 2017
West River Modified Union Education District
to Organize
The legal
voters of the West River Modified Union Education District, comprising the
voters of the Towns of Brookline, Jamaica, Newfane, and Townshend for
prekindergarten through Grade 12 and the Town of Windham for Grades 7-12 will
meet at the Leland and Gray Middle High School in Townshend, VT, on Monday June
26th at 7:00 pm.
Immediately
following this Special Meeting, the West River Modified Union Education
District will organize and elect its very first officers.
“There is
excitement around creating a new school district and further unifying the
Leland and Gray towns,” stated Windham Central Supervisory Union Superintendent
Bill Anton.
The creation
of the West River Modified Union Education District is the result of the work
of the Leland & Gray Towns Act 46 Study Committee. The elected officials who will make up the
new school district board have been meeting informally as a gathering of
citizens.
“The members of the new board are excited and ready to
continue the work of the study committee. Taking the plan for the new
district from the 10,000 foot level to the operational level is challenging but
rewarding work,” according to Joe Winrich, Study Committee Chair.
