Granville and Hancock residents are invited to attend one of these two coffee & conversation meetings with WRVSU superintendent Jamie Kinnarney and Rochester-Stockbridge Principal Lindy Stetson. Sessions are this Thursday, April 24, from 7:45 to 9AM at the Stockbridge school, and next Thursday, May 1, at Rochester Cafe between 8 and 9 AM.

If you have questions about the upcoming budget votes in Rochester-Stockbridge and Granville-Hancock districts, or how the “education transformation” legislation taking shape in Montpelier affects our kids, please take advantage of this opportunity to connect with school leaders. This is open to all Granville-Hancock residents, and not just those sending kids to school within the district. If you can’t attend but have questions, please email board chair Stacey Peters at [email protected] and I’ll raise your questions at one of the sessions.
