Act 46 Self-Evaluation Process Begins: Over the summer, the State Board of Education published draft rules for school districts seeking an alternative to merging under Act 46. This week, the Elmore-Morristown and Stowe school boards met to begin the self-evaluation process required for an “alternative governance structure,” and, in our case, two separate school districts operating collaboratively under the umbrella of the Lamoille South Supervisory Union (LSSU). This process will continue for months to come and, as always, the meetings are open to the public. The LSSU Board will continue the self-evaluation process at their next meeting on November 30, 2016. Elmore-Morristown and LSSU minutes and agendas can be found on the new Elmore-Morristown District website at: https://sites.google.com/a/lssuvt.org/emuu/school-board
