BRATTLEBORO â The Community Safety Review Committee is starting to see the shape of recommendations being developed by facilitators to make the town feel more safe.
âWeâre at a critical point in our process,â Emily Megas-Russell, one of the two facilitators hired by the town for the project that will result in a report due at the end of the month, said at the committee meeting held remotely Monday.
Responses from Town Manager Peter Elwell on questions posed at the last meeting were read to the committee on Monday. He said neither the Brattleboro Police Department nor the rest of town government plays any role in the school resource officer position â it is staffed by the Windham County Sheriffâs Office and overseen by the Windham Southeast School District, with no funding from the municipal budget.

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.
