To the editor:
I admit it â Southern Vermont has its quirky souls and eccentricities, but if there is any doubt whatsoever that we live in a caring community of extraordinarily generous souls who have risen to the challenges presented by the pandemic, one has only to listen to the administratorsâ reports at the WSESD board meeting of Dec. 16 (available on BCTV).
Leaders from every school in the district lauded the many individuals and organizations that donated time, talent and resources to feed and educate our students and to create the safest learning environments possible. There are far too many to recount in this letter, but I was particularly inspired by Principal Steve Perrinâs praise of Brattleboro Union High School students. âI want to thank our students,â he said. âOur teenagers are great . They are masking. They are keeping social distancing. They are reminding others to mask. Do they forget? Sure, but when we remind them they say, âYep.

BRATTLEBORO â Green Street School shifted to remote learning until next month after getting a report of one positive test for COVID-19 and one probable case in the elementary school.
On Thursday, Principal Mark Speno received confirmation of a person in the school community testing positive for COVID-19. He said it was the first one of the school year.
âStudents and staff in presence of that classroom during that school day were sent home as soon as possible,â he said.
Parents were informed of the situation then Julia Duke, school nurse, and Speno had a conference call with the Vermont Department of Health, which helped with additional contact tracing. They decided to go remote on Friday and have a deep clean done on the building before continuing with the mix of in-person and remote learning Monday.
