Slate Valley Schools in Recovery and Reorganization | Montpelier News

Slate Valley Unified is still recovering from a devastating ransomware attack that crippled their internet for nearly a week, forcing classrooms to go pen-and-paper while central offices lag behind. As they work with law enforcement to assess potential data breaches—though student info seems safe—they’re also tackling a major overhaul of their elementary schools, launching a “blank slate” community process to explore reorganization, savings, and future needs. With forums scheduled for September 21-22 and a virtual option on October 1, residents are being invited to shape the district’s next chapter. Meanwhile, the board turned down transportation funding for extracurricular clubs at other schools, citing logistical and financial hurdles—a decision that underscores the tough balancing act between student interests and limited resources as budget talks loom.
