What Montpelier Roxbury Public Schools does

Montpelier Roxbury Public Schools (MRPS) is a Vermont public school district organized under Vermont State Law (16 V.S.A.) and governed by a locally elected Board of School Directors. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12 residing in the Montpelier and Roxbury catchment area of Washington County, Vermont. It operates four schools: Union Elementary School (Pre-K through grade 4), Main Street Middle School (grades 5–8), Montpelier High School (grades 9–12), and Roxbury Village School (K–6). Montpelier High School was established in 1899, making it one of the oldest institutions in the district. District administration is headquartered at 5 High School Drive, Unit 1, Montpelier, VT 05602.

MRPS delivers a comprehensive K-12 public education program supplemented by a multi-tiered system of support for Social Emotional Learning (SEL), special education and Section 504 services, English Learner programs under the MRPS Lau Plan, McKinney-Vento homeless student support, and harassment/hazing/bullying prevention (Policy F20). Operational technology is standard K-12 administrative tooling: PowerSchool for student information and finance, Google Workspace for documents and forms, Employee Access Center for staff self-service, ORCA Media for school board meeting broadcasts, and ReadySub (new in FY26) for substitute management. No proprietary technology, AI/ML systems, or APIs are documented.

The district is funded through local property taxes, Vermont state education funding, and federal grants; it does not generate commercial revenue and has no disclosed budget figure. The Board of School Directors provides governance with operational leadership including a CFO (Michael Concessi), HR Coordinator, Director of Facilities, Director of Student Engagement and Data/Social Emotional Learning & Wellness, and Title IX Coordinator. MRPS has pursued two recent strategic initiatives: an equity audit (The Equity Leadership Group, audit report April 2024) and facilities strategic planning (TruexCullins, master plan May 2024), with a Windows Project capital improvement scheduled for summer 2026.
