The Windham Southeast School District (WSESD) is currently in the process of developing a budget that will be presented for vote at the WSESD Annual Meeting on March 17, 2026.
Suggestions for Community Engagement in the Budget Development Process:
Engage with School Administrators & Leadership Councils: The budget development process is underway in our district. Each administrator is developing their portion of the WSESD budget to reflect the values of their school and community. The Leadership Councils can be a place to engage with this work.
Attend Finance Committee Meetings: A critical part of the budget development process takes place in the review of the draft WSESD budget by the Finance Committee. Meetings are open to all to attend.

A few years back, I was attending ski instructor training at Jay Peak and there was no snow, so we had to drive north 20 miles to Mt. Sutton (Quebec) where there was. There was no border patrol either way.
One day, as we re-entered Vermont, a Border Guy WAS sitting in his car checking crossings,

The woman in the front seat said she was Canadian. No problem.
