We are pleased to announce that the Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union Board has named Rebecca Tatistcheff as our next superintendent, effective July 1, 2026. The Board unanimously selected Rebecca, recognizing her strong alignment with the values and needs of the OSSU community, and is looking forward to her leadership.

Rebecca comes with a wealth of knowledge regarding the Vermont education system and deeply understands the current landscape that OSSU exists within. She draws on experience navigating large, complex educational systems, which she can apply to our multi-district supervisory union. Her enthusiasm to strengthen supervisory union and community relationships, as well as her desire to creatively problem solve, with an eye to sustainability, and to position our schools and learners to succeed in the face of an ever-changing educational environment, is inspiring and exciting.

Reflecting this shared commitment, Rebecca said, “I am excited to join the OSSU community. The attention to finding sustainable and student centered ways to care for our communities is clearly at the center of your current work and I am excited to support this into the future.”

The Board would like to extend sincere gratitude to our community members, families, staff, and students who participated in the superintendent search forums and shared their perspectives throughout the process. Your engagement, feedback, and commitment to OSSU were invaluable and played an important role in informing the Board’s decision.

More information will be shared soon about opportunities to learn more about Rebecca and her plans for transitioning into the role. If you would like to review Rebecca’s application materials, they are available at this link.
