Superintendent and SEA Director accepting a check from Encore Energy

Yesterday, Encore Renewable Energy, a leading renewable energy developer and operator, delivered a $10,000 donation to Barre Unified Union School District, in particular, to Spaulding Educational Alternatives, which is located adjacent to Encore’s I Love Cows Solar array. Construction and energizing of the project will be completed later this year.

Encore’s generous donation was gratefully received. “Our plan is to utilize these funds to provide our students with technical, hands-on experiences that will allow them to enter the workforce or the next phase of their life with a strong foundation and a strong direction from which they can contribute to the community and benefit themselves,” said Jesse Schattin, SEA Director.

This donation is the first of Encore’s recently-established program to empower community initiatives with every project they build, and is part of the company’s broader mission to be a trusted partner for all stakeholders in the projects they develop and deliver.

Thank You and Appreciation for BUUSD Faculty and Staff!

We have had a wonderful Teacher/Staff Appreciation week! Our school board has supported and sponsored Appreciation Breakfasts all week at each of our schools, and it was a terrific opportunity for many of our board members to connect with the people who work with our students every day. These breakfasts were well attended and greatly appreciated by all!

As I was enjoying breakfast on Wednesday morning at BTMES with a group of teachers, I got to join a wonderful conversation with 7th grade teacher Darby Heibert and some of her colleagues about Edgar Allen Poe and how she is introducing his works to her students.  BUUSD Director of Curriculum Karen Fredericks joined Darby and her students yesterday to see what's going on, and you can see here how incredibly engaging and fun this work has been after hearing from her and her students!

This work is typical of what is happening in all of our schools. We have much to be proud of!

With this pride in mind, I want to remind the community that our FY25 Budget Revote is next Tuesday, May 14. Everything you need to know about the budget, from the basics to deep details, can be found on our website here: BUUSD Budget Page

We think the link to Frequently Asked Questions is particularly helpful! Please remember to cast your ballot and spread the word to your friends and neighbors to remind them to do the same!

Have a great weekend, and Happy Spring!
