This time of year comes with many opportunities to reflect on my role as superintendent of the Southwest Vermont Supervisory Union. Whether itâs sitting down to write a letter to introduce the annual reports or the idea that the end of the school year is forthcoming, I always welcome the chance to celebrate the hard work of our staff and students.
This week â February 22-26 â was Public Schools Week. And because our days look a bit different right now, it is especially important to take some time to acknowledge all of the people who make our school community what it is.

MARTINS FERRY U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, is hoping to help create more “community schools,” which are districts that offer a wide scope of services outside of the classroom health and dental care, counseling, food pantries and more.
During a news conference held via telephone Wednesday, Brown said to help in this effort he is introducing the Full Service Community School Expansion Act.
The legislation would help schools work with resources and partners in the community to provide these additional services.
The goal of the bill, which is part of the $130 billion Reopen and Rebuild America’s Schools Act, is to address students’ personal needs so teachers can focus on educating them inside the classrooms.

While we should have come to expect such an approach by now, like most other Nebraska educators, I was still surprised by the late January remarks of Gov. Pete Ricketts.
When asked whether he would sign a proclamation celebrating Public Schools Week, Ricketts said no, that education-related proclamations issued by his office focus on excellence and choice.
The Governors comment is offensive and wrong-headed. Nebraska public schools clearly do, in fact, provide both excellence and choice.
Ricketts remarks are more than hurtful to the 330,000 children attending and the 28,000-plus teachers, 1,200-plus administrators and thousands of education support professionals working in our Nebraska public schools.
