Washington West Supervisory Union

What Washington West Supervisory Union does

Washington West Supervisory Union, operating as the Harwood Unified Union School District (HUUSD), is a publicly funded K-12 supervisory union headquartered in Waitsfield, Vermont (P.O. Box 1059). Operating under the oversight of the Vermont Agency of Education and governance of an elected school board, the district runs eight schools serving students from prekindergarten through grade 12 across Washington County: Harwood Union High School, Harwood Union Middle School, Crossett Brook Middle School, Brookside Primary School, and four elementary schools (Moretown, Waitsfield, Fayston, and Warren), plus a standalone Prekindergarten Program. The organization is classified as a government state entity with no commercial revenue model, funded through a combination of state education taxes, local property taxes, and federal funding.

The district's technology stack is conventional for K-12 education. PowerSchool provides the student information system and parent portal at wwsu.powerschool.com for grade management, attendance tracking, and family communication, while Google Drive is used for document management. Supporting administrative functions are organized into departments including the Superintendent's Office, Curriculum, Student Support Services, Technology, and Human Resources & Business Office. Community engagement operates through the district website (huusd.org), a Facebook page, an email newsletter subscription service, and in-person events including school board meetings, workgroups, and volunteer programs. Two commercial vendor relationships are documented: PowerSchool (core technology) and Edgeworks Creative (website development and maintenance).

The customer base consists of local K-12 students and families residing within the district's geographic catchment in central Vermont, with no commercial customers or contracts. The district is currently operating and accepting new student registrations for the 2026-27 school year. No proprietary technology, no AI/ML capabilities, no patents or trademarks, no commercial partnerships beyond the two vendors noted, and no external funding events are documented in the source material.
