Calling all Hartford Community Members!

The Hartford School District will be hosting a public forum with several local legislators and AOE leadership to discuss pressing issues that the legislature is working on as the legislative session comes to a close.

Please join your local legislators and AOE and school leaders to engage in a conversation on the issues that are directly impacting our schools and community: class size mandates, consolidation, PCB mitigation, and school funding, to name a few topics of great importance.

The event will be held on Monday, May 5, 2025, at 6:00 PM, and it will be hosted in the auditorium at Hartford High School. Those who wish to listen in online may do so by accessing this YouTube live link (https://www.youtube.com/@junctionartsandmedia) or the Zoom link used for our School Board meetings (https://zoom.us/j/97430755984; Meeting ID = 974 3075 5984).

The legislators will discuss the significant changes being proposed with regard to education reform in Vermont, as well as share any related efforts that are being made at the state level to address some of the Hartford School District's unique challenges and needs, including building infrastructure related to PCB remediation and abatement in our District.

We are looking forward to hearing from our legislators and invite you all to share at this public forum any concerns, comments, questions, and support you may wish to provide as the legislative session concludes.

We are tremendously grateful to our local Senators and Representatives as well as the Agency of Education for their participation and the opportunity to meet with them.

Please join us!

Week 28: “Let’s Keep Building Together” - Joe Major

From now until the end of the year, the Curiosity Corner will be sharing stories from members of the Hartford School District and the larger Hartford Community. We’re starting off with Vermont State Senator, Joe Major with this message for the Hartford Community, where he is a neighbor, a public servant, and a proud Vermonter.

Transcript:

Hello Friends, I’m Joe Major and I want to take a moment to speak to you, not just as your state senator, but as a neighbor, a public servant, and a proud Vermonter.

Being a Black man in a predominantly White state has shaped my journey in ways I never expected. Vermont has been my home, my community, and my responsibility. I’ve always believed that leadership isn’t about where you come from, it’s about what you give back. And I’ve been honored to serve, to listen, and to build bridges that bring us closer together.

Through my work, I have fought for policies that lift up everyone, to expand access to education, support small businesses, and to make sure every Vermonter no matter what their background has a fair shot at success. I have worked with schools to create opportunities with young people, with local businesses to strengthen our economy and with our community leaders to ensure the government reflects the voices of all of its people.

Vermont has welcomed me, challenged me, and given me a chance to give back. And I will keep working every day to make sure this state remains a place where everyone no matter what their race, background, or story feels the same sense of belonging that I have here in Hartford. Let’s keep building together!
