Two Rivers Supervisory Union

What Two Rivers Supervisory Union does

Two Rivers Supervisory Union (TRSU) is a Vermont public school supervisory union established in 1969 that coordinates K-12 education across six member towns: Andover, Baltimore, Cavendish, Chester, Ludlow, and Mount Holly. The district operates five schools, including four K-6 elementary schools (Cavendish Town Elementary, Chester Andover Elementary, Ludlow Elementary, Mount Holly School) and Green Mountain Union High School (grades 7-12), supplemented by the Early Education Collaborative (12 community preschool partners since 2005), an After School Program, a 1:1 Mobile Device Program, and a Food Service Program operating under the federal Community Eligibility Provision. The district is governed by elected school boards under Vermont state law and led by Superintendent Layne Millington.

TRSU's core technology stack is built around PowerSchool as the student information system, with Google Workspace for Education providing productivity and collaboration tools, NWEA MAP for assessment, and supplementary platforms including SeeSaw (K-3 portfolios), IXL (adaptive learning), Clever (single sign-on), Zoom, and Nutrislice (meal menus). Administrative operations run on Tyler Portico for HR/payroll, IncidentIQ for help desk, Red Rover K12 and TimeClock Plus for time tracking. The district integrates with the Vermont Agency of Education for VTCAP/Smarter Balanced assessments and Cognia for accreditation services.

TRSU is a government state entity, not a commercial enterprise. Funding flows from state education aid, local property taxes, and federal grants (USDA, Title I). Fee-based revenue is limited to modest After School Program charges ($7/day per student, $5/day for siblings), Winter Sports program fees ($30-$35), and summer camp registration, with financial assistance available through the Vermont Child Care Financial Assistance Program (CCFAP). No tuition is charged for K-12 enrollment per state law.
