The Bennington-Rutland Supervisory Union (BRSU) is leading the effort and if enough districts join, will administer the consortium. The Southwestern Vermont Supervisory Union Board (SVSU) joined the group at its May 28 meeting .

“We were presented with an opportunity this spring, when they started to roll out our Title grants, to join a regional group in the western part of the state to access Title III money,” said SVSU Laura Boudreau, assistant superintendent at the meeting. “We don’t have enough numbers to individually access the Title III grant, but we do have access to do this in a group.”
