District Announcements:
Burlington School Board Selects Dr. Howard Smith to Lead City Schools
November 12, 2014
The Burlington School Board of Commissioners announced today that it has selected Dr. Howard Smith to be the Interim Superintendent of Burlington Schools.
Recently retired as Superintendent of the Public Schools of the Tarrytowns in New York, Dr. Smith brings to Burlington a record of strong instructional leadership around student-centered learning, demonstrated results in improving student achievement, a passionate commitment to equity and closing the achievement gap, and a deep focus on building partnerships between communities and schools — a body of work that solidly aligns with Burlington School District’s priorities and current major initiatives.

Superintendent Search Forum
November 11, 2014
The Burlington School District and the Superintendent Search Advisory Committee (SSAC) of the Burlington School
Board are convening three public forums as part of a collaborative effort to recruit and hire a new Superintendent by the end of the current school year.
To facilitate the forums, the Burlington‐based Partnership for Change, a grant‐funded effort that supports innovation in the Burlington and Winooski Schools, has retained the Center for
Secondary School Redesign (CSSR), a nationally known educational consulting firm.
Parents and community members are invited to public forums that will engage school faculty and citizens in a process known as “position analysis", whereby community stakeholders come together to look at a set of documents that describe the array of skills needed in a 21st Century school leader, and prioritize what they think
are the most important for Burlington’s success. Feedback from all of the forums will be incorporated into the final job description that will be given to the School Board.
Upcoming forums include:
Shrek Is Coming! The BHS Musical is next week, Thursday through Saturday, November 20‐22 at 7:00 p.m. with a matinee at 1:00 on Saturday the 22nd. Tickets are $8 for students and senior citizens; $12 for adults. Please come and see this Broadway‐level production featuring the work of about 100 students in the cast and crew!
