Southern Vermont School Boards Involve Students as Non-Voting Representatives. School boards across southern Vermont are increasingly including students as non-voting members, aiming to strengthen student engagement in education policy. While a bill that would grant students full voting rights on boards remains stalled in the Vermont legislature, local districts such as Mountain Views Supervisory Union and the Hartland and Weathersfield school districts have already appointed students in advisory roles. Educators and students report positive impacts from this increased participation. Broader adoption of these practices continues to grow in the region.

Forestry Project on Black Mountain Road Focuses on Red Pine Management. In Dummerston, a planned forestry operation led by Steve Hardy of Green Mountain Forestry has involved frequent timber hauling from the Black Mountain Road area. Hardy, who has nearly five decades of experience in forestry across Vermont and neighboring states, is addressing the decline of local red pine stands. The initiative was prompted by both biological decline, characterized by reduced live branches in older pines, and the spread of disease affecting the species. The project is intended to support forest health and regeneration in the area. (Source: The Commons on Apr 7) Southern Vermont Hartland, VT
