π° News we're reading
β’ Superintendent evaluation policy not satisfactory for teachers union (reformer.com) β Dummerston families are affected as the Windham Southeast Supervisory Union advances a new superintendent evaluation policy that currently leaves out formal teacher feedback. Union leaders and some board members argue teachers in Brattleboro, Dummerston, Guilford, and Putney should have a guaranteed voice in evaluating district leadership, while others worry about overreach and legal complications. Community input in the coming days could still influence the final policy.
