MTSD Affected Family
From: Amy Rex, Superintendent
I am writing to you today regarding a difficult situation impacting a family within our school community. A recent event involving a family connected to our district is circulating on the news, and we want to acknowledge the concern this may be causing for many.
Our priority is always the well-being of all our students and their families. At MTSD, we are committed to fostering a supportive environment where every scholar feels known and empowered to thrive, and where their unique stories, dreams, and strengths are valued. In challenging times, our strength lies in coming together as a community to care for one another.
In times when a school family is experiencing an unusually difficult situation or is in crisis, we have teams that provide a variety of direct support. We understand that many in our community may also wish to offer their support. If you are seeking ways to help this family, please contact my office directly.
We will continue to navigate these times with compassion and strength, ensuring that our schools remain places of hope, opportunity, and joy for all. We appreciate your understanding and your dedication to the well-being of our entire school community.
Education Transformation Bill Floor Vote Monday
This letter provides an update on the Education Transformation Bill, H.454, which is scheduled for a floor vote on Monday. We understand that discussions around this bill have been complex, and we want to keep you informed about its contents and implications.
The conference committee completed its work on Friday and is presenting a bill for a floor vote Monday! If you want to exercise your voice, contact your Milton Legislators to encourage how they vote. Here is the H.454 Summary. While below are some key areas of discussion regarding H.454:
Areas of concerns that have been raised in the development of the H454 include:
There are concerns that the proposed foundation formula might lead to decreased revenues for some districts, potentially necessitating an increase in property taxes, or significant tax rate increases in other districts without guaranteed additional funding.
While the bill includes extensive language on school construction, there is currently no dedicated revenue source outlined to fund these capital improvements, which are a significant cost driver.
The bill proposes moving from a census block grant to weighted categories for special education disabilities. The potential impact of this change, without sufficient prior modeling, is a noted concern.
The bill includes certain provisions and concessions related to independent schools that have been part of the recent negotiations and may directly impact the funding available to local public schools. Examples include:
Independent schools will not be held to the same standards as public schools under this bill.
Designated independent career and technical schools will be permitted to set the cost of tuition to sending districts which will draw from Districts allocated funds under the foundation formula.
The bill also addresses other areas, including:
A move toward a statewide school calendar and consistent graduation requirements is aimed at improving access and alignment, particularly for Career and Technical Education students.
The bill includes a homestead exemption aimed at reducing property tax liability for low and moderate-income households, though its application is limited to property values up to $425,000.

Vermont DCF will send a letter if your family will automatically receive S-EBT this summer. That letter will include any instructions.
If your household already has an EBT card, S-EBT benefits will be added to it.
If your household has an S-EBT card from last summer, this year’s S-EBT benefits will be added to it. If you lost your card, call 1-888-354-0012, option 7 to get a new one.
Families who don’t already have an EBT card will receive a new card in the mail.

Reach Up
Medicaid while the family’s income was below 185% of the Federal Poverty Limit
They qualify for free or reduced-price meals at a school that participates in the National School Lunch Program. Even though Vermont schools offer free meals to all students, only some students qualify for free and reduced-price meals.
Children participating in several other assistance programs may also receive the benefit automatically.
Families that qualify based on their income but aren't automatically enrolled can apply online in August at summerebt.vermont.gov. Applying is a simple process and takes just a few minutes!
Receiving Summer EBT benefits does not affect the family’s immigration status.
Families with EBT cards can visit Vermont State Parks for free! Just show your EBT card at the park entrance and you and your household can enter for free. Visit https://www.vermontparksforever.org/paf-pilot to learn more.

Milton Runs was a hit yesterday at MES!
This awesome event capped off a spring season of practice for our dedicated students and coaches. Designed to get kids moving, active, and outdoors, it was the perfect way to welcome the season.
A huge thank you to event coordinators Rebecca Paskiet and Madison Laquerre, as well as the many faculty, staff, and parent volunteers who made it all possible—and so much fun! 💛🏃♀️🌼
As the school year wraps up, we want to recognize and thank five incredible members of our MTSD team for their service and dedication.
Margaret Blow, Tina Coolbeth, and Gail Nichols are retiring this spring, and we’re so grateful for the many ways they’ve supported our students and schools throughout their careers.
We also want to extend another heartfelt thank you to Anne Blake and MaryJane Stinson, who retired earlier this school year in December.
Each of these individuals has made a lasting impact, and we wish them all the best in the exciting chapters ahead! 💛💙
Hunger doesn’t take a vacation. Summer meals help fill the gap when school is out and ensure that children come back to school well-nourished and ready to learn. At Summer meal sites, all children 0-18 eat for free–no paperwork, no registration, no I.D. needed!
