FIVE TOWN ACT 46 MEETING AT ROBINSON SCHOOL
The Robinson Elementary Board will be hosting a meeting devoted to the details and ramifications of Act 46. on November 9th from 7:00 to 9:00. at our Multi Purpose Room.

The featured speaker will be Nicole Mace, Executive Director of the Vermont School Boards Association. She will discuss the various actions across the state that School Boards and Communities are taking in reaction to this sweeping legislation, and what this could mean for the ANESU. We will also be joined by local Representatives Dave Sharpe, Fred Baser and Harvey Smith who will share their understanding of the problems this law seeks to address and their hopes for the future. The second half of the meeting, or more time if possible, will be devoted to Q and A and discussion. We are hoping for a good turnout from across the district.

At the Addison Northeast Supervisory Union Board meeting last evening the board approved the following motions:
Moved that effective immediately, responsibility for performance of all duties of the Addison Northeast Supervisory Union Superintendent of Schools, David Adams, is hereby reassigned to the Addison Northeast Supervisory Union Assistant Superintendent, Catrina DiNapoli.
Moved that the Addison Northeast Supervisory Union Board promptly commence a search for an acting superintendent to assume the duties of such position as soon as is reasonably possible.
David Adams has been and continues to be on FMLA leave. These actions will allow the supervisory union and its member districts to move forward with the challenging work they face.

The Monkton Central School Board was originally going to have a brief Board meeting after the All Boards meeting on 9/28/15. That has been cancelled to accommodate this SU meeting.
