To The Editor:

Please consider voting for Christine Sullivan for Waitsfield HUUSD Board rep. Christine (and the HUUSD Board) has done an incredible amount of work on the consolidation and budget. She has been accessible and very straightforward about the decisions that we have in front of us. This process has been going on for two-plus years. We opted in for the consolidation process. We benefited from the tax savings. Now we have to pay the piper. Change is hard. Closing a school sucks (and will impact my family significantly), but it’s a result of a demographic trend that we can’t deny and don’t have much hope for changing. The eventual savings is there and it’s real. The kids will keep (or gain) the programs we value. The facts may be unpopular, but they are still the truth.
