ACSD Board School Board Town Hall Meetings are a chance to share what is important to you about your student’s education, help shape budget priorities, and help the Board understand the hopes and values you have for our schools, our district, and the future of public education in Vermont. The first two meetings are planned with more on the way. All ACSD Community members are welcome at any event. Can't attend in person? Share your thoughts here: tinyurl.com/ACSDtownhall
