Sea Fantasy, School Mergers, and Teacher Finalists | Burlington News

Rutland schools turned their yard into a magical underwater world with Plasticiens Volants’ inflatable sea creature show “Sea Fantasy — the Pearl,” complete with a pearl-stealing octopus, epic sea battles, and experimental music — all under the rain, with food, info booths, and kids going wild. Meanwhile, a new facilitator, Luvelle Brown, has been tapped to lead the critical school district merger study, with a deadline of September 1, 2027. And in education news, Proctor’s Linda McCuen is one of three finalists for Vermont Teacher of the Year — a huge honor that could send her to the national stage. Don’t forget: local school board meetings are coming up — Wells Springs on Sept. 14 at 6 PM, Slate Valley at 6:30 PM, and Mill River on Sept. 16 at 7 PM.
