Support Staff Contract Negotiations In the fall of 2011 the Marion Cross Support Staff petitioned the Vermont Labor Board to form a bargaining unit. Following a vote, the petition was granted. After about a year of negotiations, the Board and the Support Staff are close to agreement on all issues. We are confident that a possible settlement can be accommodated within the proposed budget.

Final thoughts: • Budget increase is due almost entirely to special education expenses, which are almost entirely reimbursed by the state. • Marion Cross is an attractive choice for families as evidenced by our rising enrollment. • Marion Cross continues to provide an excellent educational program, while its costs are low compared to other districts in the state.
