Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union has been assigned to the Winooski Valley Cooperative Educational Service Area (WVCESA). This CESA is a regional partnership that brings neighboring Vermont school districts together to work collaboratively to provide shared programs and services. The CESA provides a structure for schools and districts to work together, share resources and expertise, and explore ways to deliver high-quality educational services more effectively. CESAs are intended to complement—not replace—the educational programs and local governance of their member districts.

In practical terms, the Winooski Valley CESA is a way for participating supervisory unions to ask:

How can we work together to give every student the strongest possible educational opportunities while making responsible use of public resources?
