Exhilarating AND Challenging! HUUSD Consolidation Year #1 (Summer 2017)
A conversation with HUUSD board communications working group chairman Rob Williams and HUUSD Superintendent Brigid Nease Q. The HUUSD board is responsible for overseeing the work of a single employee - YOU - as superintendent of our supervisory union (SU). I think we can all agree it has been both an exhilarating and challenging year. As our superintendent for eight years, how would you describe this past year as our first under the Act 46 unified school program, which was overwhelming approved by voters in all six of our towns - Waterbury, Duxbury, Fayston, Moretown, Waitsfield, and Warren? A. You said it well - exhilarating and challenging. The exhilarating part was and will continue to be, imagining with my administrative team, what could be possible now that the old financial barriers have been lifted so that we can share resources and grow collectively together. I have felt since the beginning eight years ago that the WWSU had considerable untapped capacity. Ho
