Dear Lamoille North Community,
We extend a heartfelt thank you for your support of Lamoille North schools! Our community members, Board, administration, staff, students, and our communities through their input, have worked hard over many months to develop a responsible budget and to preserve educational programming for our students. All of our budgets passed with robust margins and we believe that this is a testament to the strength and advocacy of our communities.
We understand the challenges and economic pressures Vermonters are feeling in Lamoille County and across the state. As Vermont contends with inflation, a severely aging school infrastructure, the high cost of housing, workforce challenges, and more, the funding of our education system needs to be reconfigured by our state leaders so that all costs do not fall on Vermont taxpayers. We believe that is starting to happen.
We will continue to support, empower, and educate our students across the school district while respecting the capacities of our taxpayers. Again, we wholeheartedly thank you for your support!
Very truly yours,
Mark Nielsen
Board Chair, LNMMUSD
