Mount Mansfield Modified Union School District (MMUUSD), formerly the Mount Mansfield Union School District #17, is a school district headquartered in Jericho, Vermont. [2]

Contents

It is the district farthest east in Chittenden County, Vermont. There are approximately 2600 students enrolled in the district. [3]

Each town in the district has its own elementary school, which serves K-4th grade.

Students from Huntington, Bolton and Richmond attend Camels Hump Middle School. Those from Jericho and Underhill attend Browns River Middle School. Both middle schools serve grades 5-8.

The district's high school is Mount Mansfield Union High School, located in Jericho, which takes students graduating from both middle schools, and serves grades 9-12.

History

The predecessor districts were in the Chittenden East Supervisory Union (CESU), which was their umbrella organization. In a span of ten years the residents of the predecessor districts voted on whether to merge their school districts on five occasions. [4] The vote that day[ specify ] favored consolidation. [5] The district was established effective November 4, 2014. [6] The merged district began operations the following year. [5]

In 2011 there was a vote among the towns on whether to merge that did not pass. Another such vote was scheduled in 2014. [7] The district formed with the voluntary merger of the Bolton, Jericho, Richmond, and Underhill school districts. [4] When MMUUSD formed, Huntington residents already had representation as the community sent its secondary students there, but Huntington continued to have its own elementary school district. [8]

Residents of Huntington resisted merging for a longer time, with four unsuccessful votes on merging into MMUUSD. At one point the state of Vermont passed Act 46 that obligated school districts to merge. [4] The Huntington School District sued the state government to try to stop the merger. [9] In 2018 the Huntington district filed its third lawsuit against mergers. [10] On June 6, 2019, [11] the vote to merge Huntington into Mount Mansfield succeeded on a 450-191 basis; the Chittenden East Supervisory Union dissolved as a result. [4]
