Region One School District

Strategies are needed to ensure Housatonic Valley Regional High School students the best possible preparation for life and work. Difficult decisions will have to be made by the Board of Education as enrollment figures shift and economic factors continue to put pressure on limited resources.

To inform the Board's decision-making, a Long Range Planning Team has been established and has begun work. The Team, made up of community members, staff and faculty, has scheduled a series of public forums in each of the member towns, at which they will present important information as well as solicit citizen responses. A survey to record public opinion is located above.

The community's participation in this planning process is essential to the direction of Housatonic Valley Regional High School. All citizens in Region One are urged to participate in the forums (scheduled below), and respond to the survey.

For additional information contact Superintendent Patricia Chamberlain at (860) 824-0855.
