| HUMS students Connect with others through reading. Spring does exist in Vermont, one has to enjoy it when it presents itself. |

| Curious what may be flying overhead? Is it a bird, perhaps a balloon, or some time of UFO??? Well, most likely the objects you see are one of our Radio-Controlled airplanes being flown middle school pilots who are members of our newly started flight club. The crew is open to anyone interested in hands-on building and operating flying machines. Recent grant funds will open up the opportunity for more piloted planes in the HU sky in the coming weeks. (Harwood may need a control tower soon) The group hopes to fly some Highlander Banners during home sporting events either later this spring or next fall. Keep your eyes wandering in the skies! |

“3 Word” Conversations......
BACKGROUND: These community conversations are the next step in our plan to develop a vision and goals for the HUUSD district. It follows the community-wide survey which closed on April 12 and received over 700 responses. We expect to publish results of the survey and conversations in June 2019, and develop a first draft of the vision/goals in time for the board retreat, which will occur sometime in August 2019. The hope is for the board to finalize the vision/goals in the Fall of 2019.
FUTURE DATES:
If you cannot join us tomorrow, consider joining one of these events - going outside of the town in which you live is encouraged!!
You can RSVP to a future date using this link:
As always, thank you for engaging with us about education in our district!
The HUUSD School Board
What’s happening with the Harwood bond?
Recognizing the need to present our community with a comprehensive Pre K through 12 plan for the school district, the Harwood Unified Union School District Board of Directors recently approved a timeline to outline our work from now until Town Meeting Day 2020. The goal is to present voters with a bond proposal that encompasses a Pre K through 12 plan for district configuration and construction needs on March 3, 2020. This bond will not only address the Harwood Union campus, but will incorporate changes and improvements for other facilities as necessary. On April 24, the board approved a list of “Challenges and Opportunities” as a first step in creating a plan.The timeline also includes several upcoming events. There will be a May 8, board discussion of draft criteria to use in evaluating potential Pre K through 12 models. And on May 15, the administration will present a report on current state/do nothing model projections for per pupil expenditure and homestead tax rates through FY 2029. Updates and outcomes will be shared through our regular HUUSD board meeting updates. On May 22, we will host a 90 minute forum at which community members can share their thoughts, ask questions, and have small group discussions regarding the work with members of the board and administration. At subsequent meetings, the board will outline and identify 3 - 5 scenarios for a Pre K through 12 plan, with a report in September 2019. For updates and supporting documents please refer to the board page of the HUUSD website: https://wwsu.org/huusd-board We hope to see you at 6:00 on May 22, in the Harwood library for the forum. As always, you are welcome to share your thoughts during the public comment section of board meetings or through email to the full board at cen-huusdboard@wwsu.org. |
