Ever felt like it was hard to keep up with all of the activities available for youth in our area-- or just even to remember to sign up on time?  Tuesday, March 10,  6-7 pm, Waitsfield School is hosting a Youth Sports & Activities Fair. Representatives from an array of local sports, as well as other youth activities, from scouting to private art classes and much more, will be available, along with some summer camp programs, too.  Plan to stop by just to see some of what is available and get your sign ups, for Little League or fall soccer and much more, done all in one place at one time. This event is open to all youth and their families across our communities.  If you are interested in representing a youth program, please contact me (kkorb@huusd.org) and we'll make sure we have a spot for you. 

At Town Meeting this year, the HUUSD School Board will be asking voters to approve a nearly $40M budget to operate our seven campuses next year and to transfer nearly $2M into the district’s long term maintenance reserve fund. 

Details about the district’s work and finances from the last year as well as our plans for next year are available in our Annual Report. Our annual meeting will be held on Monday, March 2nd at 6PM in the Harwood Library. As for any of our meetings, community members are warmly invited to attend.

This has been a particularly challenging budget year that has played out over months of public meetings. We know that community members have a range of budget-related questions and we have put together a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) document, which we invite you to peruse. We hope it will provide some detailed context for the difficult decisions faced by the Board -- and by our community.

Respectfully, Caitlin Hollister, Board Chair and Torrey Smith, Board Vice-Chair
