Barre Unified Union School District
February 19th Vote to Amend the Default Articles of Agreement:
On February 19, 2019, the voters of the BUUSD will vote in their respective polling places: Barre City residents vote at the Barre City Municipal Auditorium and Barre Town residents vote at the Barre Town Middle and Elementary School Gymnasium; on whether to amend the Default Articles of Agreement which the Vermont State Board of Education provided as part of the Order to Merge in November.
There are two ballot articles to be voted on. If neither ballot article passes the BUUSD will operate under the Default Articles of Agreement as they were drafted. If either ballot article passes the Default Articles of Agreement will be changed as described below. To see the ballot warning, the Default Articles of Agreement, and the proposed Amended Articles of Agreement in their entirety go to: https://www.bsuvt.org/resources/merger-update
What Do the Ballot Questions Mean?
Article I:
· A YES vote means it would take a future public vote to change the current school configuration. It also means that Barre Town students cannot be forced to go to Barre City School, and Barre City students cannot be forced to go to Barre Town School unless the public votes in the future to change this.
· A NO vote means that after two years, the Board can decide –without a public vote – to change the current school configuration; as well as where students can (or must) attend school.
Article II:
· A YES vote means that the New Union Board will be comprised of 9 members; 4 members from Barre Town elected by Barre Town voters; 4 members from Barre City elected by Barre City voters; and 1 at-large member elected by voters of both towns.
· A NO vote means that the New Union Board will be comprised of 4 members; 2 members from Barre Town elected by voters of both towns, and 2 members from Barre City elected by voters of both towns.
