Valley News - Town Meeting Preview: Oxbow Unified Union School District

Town Meeting Preview: Oxbow Unified Union School District Published: 4/12/2021 10:03:50 PM Modified: 4/12/2021 10:03:48 PM Hot topic: The Oxbow Unified Union School District struggled to pass a budget for the current school year, finally succeeding on the fourth try, in mid-January, only three months ago. Voters in Newbury, Vt., also rejected an attempt to withdraw the town from the district, in which it is partnered with Bradford. Have the hot topics simmered down? Budget: The proposed budget of nearly $17.2 million, which would fund the operations of Bradford Elementary School, Newbury Elementary School, Oxbow High School and River Bend Career and Technical Center, as well as preschool programs and the district s share of the Orange East Supervisory Union budget, is about $392,000 higher than the current year’s.

On the fourth attempt, voters in the Oxbow Unified Union School District approved a budget for the 2020-21 school year in Australian and absentee balloting on Wednesday. Voters in the district’s two towns, Bradford and Newbury, approved the $16.8 million budget by a count of 552-351, with one spoiled ballot. “I was really surprised by the margin,” Danielle Corti, chair of the Oxbow district’s board, said Thursday morning. “That, to me, meant we didn’t just win a few people over.” The last vote, on Nov. 24, saw a higher turnout, as voters rejected the same budget, 593-578. For that vote, the two towns sent ballots to all voters, but for Wednesday’s vote, only voters who requested ballots from their town clerks received them.

Valley News - Newbury sticks with Oxbow district

Voters have rejected a proposal to leave the Oxbow Unified Union School District and return Newbury Elementary School to a standalone school district. In Australian and mail-in balloting on Tuesday, Newbury residents voted 169-140 to defeat the proposal. Newbury had tried in 2018 to avoid joining the Oxbow district, which pairs the town with Bradford, Vt., and oversees an elementary school in each town as well as Oxbow High School and River Bend Career and Technical Center. The State Board of Education required the involuntary merger that created the district under Act 46, Vermont’s 2015 school consolidation law.

For David Major, the former Westminster School Board chairman who helped organize a petition for his town to vote Jan. 5 on secession, it is fundamentally a question of local control. Westminster has already collaborated with its neighboring towns on such services as food service and special education, Major said, and has seen no added benefit to being forced to combine school boards with Athens and Grafton under Act 46.
