  • Important Message to Our School Community

    Dear Orange Southwest School District Community, It is with deep sadness that we share that last evening we learned one of our ninth-grade students was taken to Gifford, where life-saving measures were attempted but ultimately unsuccessful. We are heartbroken by this loss and are holding this young woman’s family and friends closely in our thoughts. Out of respect for the family’s privacy, we are sharing only limited information at this time. Today, a full counseling team was available, along with dedicated spaces for students and staff who wished to access additional support. Staff from the Clara Martin Center and Gifford Healthcare joined us to ensure we had the capacity to meet the needs of our community. We are deeply grateful to the Clara Martin Center, Gifford Healthcare, and community clinicians in private practice who generously offered their services. We will continue to rely on the strength of this support, and on one another, as we navigate the days and weeks ahead. We will have similar supports in place tomorrow. We recognize that a loss of this nature can evoke a wide range of emotions for people of all ages. Please reach out if you or someone you care about needs support. The Clara Martin Center offers a 24-hour crisis line at  1-800-639-6360 . We will share additional information as it becomes available and as appropriate. Michael J. Clark Orange Southwest School District  Superintendent

    There is still time to RSVP Re-Visioning the Future of Public Education in Vermont With the passage of  Act 73  during the 2025 legislative session, Vermont has set the stage for major transformations in public education. This landmark legislation, outlined on the  Vermont Agency of Education’s resource page , highlights several initiatives, including the exploration of district mergers, that will shape the future of learning across our state. While Act 73 moved forward with limited community and student input, the  Orange Southwest School District (OSSD)  is taking proactive steps to ensure that local voices, especially those of students, are heard as lawmakers consider further changes in the 2026 legislative session. In partnership with  UP for Learning , a statewide organization dedicated to amplifying student voice and leadership, OSSD has trained a cohort of high school students to lead  community listening sessions . These sessions will gather ideas, hopes, and concerns from students, families, and community members to share directly with legislators. We invite you to join us for our upcoming  Community Listening Session :  📅  Date:  Thursday, November 13, 2025  🕕  Time:  6:00 PM  📍  Location:  Randolph Union High School Together, we’ll explore one powerful question:   What should the future of education in Vermont look like? This conversation will focus on the  vision and experience of learning , not governance or structure, and will be an opportunity to imagine what truly engaging, equitable, and forward-thinking schools could become. A  free dinner  will be provided for all who RSVP and attend.  To reserve your spot, please contact  Kyle Southworth  at 📞  802-728-5052. Let’s shape the future of education— together . Michael J. Clark  Superintendent
