The board first moved into executive session under VSA 313(a)(1), with Catherine making the motion and Jackie seconding; the motion passed by voice vote. The board stated the reason for the executive session as: premature public knowledge regarding contracts would place the board at a substantial disadvantage by risking disclosure of negotiating strategy.

After the executive session the board returned to open session and Emily made a motion “to authorize the chair to enter into negotiations for a superintendent contract.” The motion was seconded by Garrett and approved by voice vote. The board invited a staff member identified in the meeting as Dave to participate in the executive-session discussion of item 8.1.

No contract terms were disclosed during the public portion of the meeting. The board’s recorded action was authorization to begin negotiations; any final contract would require additional formal action recorded at a future public meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","BUUSD Special Board Meeting - April 8, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","After an executive session under VSA 313(a)(1) to discuss contracts and the superintendent search, the Barre Unified Union School District board authorized the chair to enter negotiations for a superintendent contract; the motion was made by Emily and seconded by Garrett and approved by voice vote.","taxTitle","Barre Unified Union School District #97, School Districts, Vermont","taxId",67875,"location","Vermont","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6080384,"Twinfield teacher urges district to resist federal DEI compliance interpretation",146,112000,258000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2947477-ef97fc1486d3e10aa4b85d589d0742c9&start=112&end=258","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2947477-ef97fc1486d3e10aa4b85d589d0742c9/thumbnail_112000.jpg","/articles/6080384/Vermont/Twinfield-teacher-urges-district-to-resist-federal-DEI-compliance-interpretation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6080384-3e449346a0fe553f85073218401972cd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771207229&Signature=HlAYQ38M1kg~dgDNoTqJyhBzdP1OjAKK0y5DO7UvzakWFK6gPhY0mvbMPpchf8A5rGfClTuO1O9qKkjdPKsoTLfjSgqdp-7IiA62a~ktfM5t4XJvpQHhvqYZiZNvWCoXBbBpSaLrrFvFzufKMmvmDUqQkHBgeN28JFWC43dswPmE7yl13nbAf~u-AtjXNYlCMpRtdW739HqazaeGwyUboZIzpGVZ544p4Y0qvAEh4sFn2K5-hjbv-xQloTZphuesCrnJWTzQCp9dBfBlGfV6dG6vcz7MYnKqPsdY0Dpe~wgwb7HLt3myfnOgTXBXQOZLXpvIwk1Ux~DMw51hfYlgvQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Ashley Moskreli, a Twinfield Middle School social studies teacher and Barre resident, told the Barre Unified Union School District Board she was concerned about a compliance letter she said Secretary Zoe Saunders plans to send stating Vermont will comply with the federal government’s interpretation of DEI-related guidance.

Moskreli said Saunders initially “demanded that all superintendents sign a letter by this Friday,” though Moskreli said community outcry led Saunders to “walk it back.” Moskreli said she and colleagues are troubled that the Agency of Education will adopt the federal interpretation as the state’s standard. “It’s really, troubling to me as an educator,” Moskreli said, adding that educators already have limited support and that such compliance could “harm Vermont children.”

Moskreli identified herself as a teacher at Twinfield and as a resident. The board had no discussion following Moskreli’s comments during the public comment period, and the meeting moved on to current business.

Moskreli asked the board to stay aware of Agency of Education policies and to “continue to stand up and protect very teachers as well as very students.”","Ashley Moskreli, a Twinfield middle school social studies teacher, told the Barre Unified Union School District board she is concerned about a compliance letter she says Vermont Secretary of Education Zoe Saunders will send aligning state practice with the federal government's interpretation of DEI.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6080389,"Barre Unified Union School District board adopts Teacher Appreciation Week resolution",280,283000,563000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2947477-ef97fc1486d3e10aa4b85d589d0742c9&start=283&end=563","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2947477-ef97fc1486d3e10aa4b85d589d0742c9/thumbnail_283000.jpg","/articles/6080389/Vermont/Barre-Unified-Union-School-District-board-adopts-Teacher-Appreciation-Week-resolution","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6080389-015b588777e0d1bb8a9ce197d9792ba2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771207229&Signature=gpqkkppAF8xWASZj5tGktQzZNCmPbud-j0M-aQYHWt-~VCGXMHB7Qdds4izrS710qd8vTMxmXC1ByaXgOeghGWSPbUEufCJzCCfuXq6npRDFVljYIH726VLVfPMQDV3KjWwjBMyu3msdZi0dxedBGvhfoFmtLsQgQiv5Ib4KaAlxegOfiZnEPPcJ8Mukg87RuAGJQ86-TSrW89Y9jHvVZkK~WcWIRyZQTrUdVMohAiR5AGtq92sd3T6YNL0IMjt9RJFI6zxR3-pT-14Zme2HRQkSgPMmfzw5dobhY5lFbeDFzncX9SFWzY-86Gy2R0BxHzvzoex~8O3QGQIGnqfEfA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Barre Unified Union School District Board adopted a resolution honoring the district's teachers and staff and invited teachers and staff to a breakfast to be held during Teacher Appreciation Week, with the time and date to be announced.

The board’s motion to adopt the resolution was made by Alice and seconded by Giuliano; members approved the motion by voice vote. The resolution text — read aloud at the meeting — thanks educators for their “time, energy, and expertise” and cites the National PTA’s designation of Teacher Appreciation Week as the reason for the board's recognition.

Board member Emily asked that school nurses also be recognized, noting that National School Nurse Day falls in the same week. “It was pointed out … it’s also National School Nurse Day in that week,” Emily said, and the board discussed drafting either an amendment or a separate resolution to acknowledge nurses. The board agreed that signatures for the resolution could be completed during a break.

The resolution as read stated it was “Adopted this April 2025 by the Barrie Unified Union School District.” The board record will use the district’s official name, Barre Unified Union School District #97. The resolution also includes an invitation to each school’s teachers and staff to attend a breakfast; the date and time were described in the meeting as “to be announced.”

The board approved the resolution by voice vote and moved on to other business.","The Barre Unified Union School District Board adopted a resolution in April 2025 honoring teachers and staff and invited staff to a breakfast during Teacher Appreciation Week; board members discussed recognizing school nurses separately.","actionData","errors"]
