Windham Southeast Supervisory Union

What Windham Southeast Supervisory Union does

Windham Southeast Supervisory Union (WSESU) is a Vermont public school supervisory union organized under Vermont state law, headquartered at 53 Green Street in Brattleboro. It provides centralized administrative oversight for two member school districts — the Windham Southeast School District (serving Brattleboro, Dummerston, Guilford, and Putney) and the Vernon Town School District — operating a network of 10 PreK-12 schools plus the Windham Regional Career Center. The supervisory union delivers shared administrative functions including Human Resources/Payroll, Finance, Special Education, Technology, Curriculum and Assessment, and an Office of Diversity, Equity & Social Justice; school-level operations and staffing are managed by the individual member districts.

The organization's core "products" are educational services delivered through the school network: elementary, middle, and high school instruction; the Windham Regional Career Center offering vocational programs (health careers, culinary arts, automotive technology, construction trades); and a layered set of student support programs including Special Education, Multi-Layered Systems of Support (MLSS/MTSS), Restorative Practices, English Language Learner services, McKinney-Vento services for housing-insecure students, and Proficiency-Based Education aligned with Vermont's Act 77. The underlying technology infrastructure is built on PowerSchool (Student Information System), Google Apps for Education (district-wide collaboration), Vermont FiberConnect (fiber-optic internet across all schools), TravelKuz (bus route management), and a comprehensive assessment stack spanning VTCAP, SBAC, and FitnessGram. Student data privacy compliance is maintained across all software applications used in classrooms.

WSESU is funded primarily through Vermont state education taxes, local property taxes, and state education funding formulas, supplemented by federal grants including ARP ESSER, the Stronger Connections Grant, the TIME Grant, and GEER II Funds. As a public entity, services are provided free of charge to enrolled students and families; there is no commercial pricing model or paid customer relationship. Governance rests with an appointed Superintendent and a board comprising members from both member districts. Customer segments are exclusively PreK-12 students, their families, and the broader southeastern Vermont community — with no commercial customer base or external revenue diversification.
