School Board





Dear members of our six town community,

At our last meeting on November 5, 2019, the Harwood Unified Union School District (HUUSD):


Attorney Ed Adrian offered his legal opinion and answered board members’ questions regarding the board’s rights, responsibilities, and limitations under the law and its Articles of Agreement regarding the district redesign.


Board members shared reflections on the effects of school closure on students, as well as on the broader social and economic fabric of district towns, including possible loss or gain of students and families. Information on the PreK-12 planning work and process can be found here: https://huusd.org/prek-12-bond-plan.


Board members discussed the PreK-12 planning questions and answers that were provided in the board packet as well as shared reflections on the administration’s proposal to combine all 7th and 8th graders at CBMS next year (2020-2021), which will be voted on next week.

The Board took action on the one (1) item below:


Approved the following items as part of the consent agenda: Approved: Minutes of 10/23/19; Accepted Vouchers 1092 and 1102, equaling $840,193.17; Approved Aegis Solar Proposal.


Our next meeting is Wednesday, November 13th at 6:00 pm in the Harwood Union School library. The first hour of the meeting will be devoted to public comment and Q and A. Please visit https://huusd.org/huusd-board to confirm time and place of meetings.
