The Lamoille North Supervisory Union and School District invite you to attend our 2026 Annual Meeting on Monday, February 16, at 7:00 PM in the Community Education Center (CEC) at Green Mountain Technology & Career Center in Hyde Park.
This annual meeting is the most important opportunity for community members to learn directly from district leaders and school principals about the proposed FY27 school budgets—and to ask questions of the people who know them best.
A free community dinner will be offered prior to the meeting, followed by:
- Budget presentations from district leadership
- School-level budget explanations from principals
- Time for community questions and discussion
The budgets outlined below directly support our students' future and, by extension, the strength and vitality of our Vermont communities.
In a state with an aging population, competing economic interests, and one in which state leaders are considering education reform, continued local investment in education is essential to sustaining our workforce, civic life, and economy. Strong schools help ensure our students are prepared to live, work, and lead right here in Lamoille County.
