North Country Supervisory Union Seeks Community Input on Future of NCUHS, NCCC Facilities
NEWPORT, VT — The North Country Supervisory Union invites community members to share their perspectives on the future of North Country Union High School (NCUHS) and the North Country Career Center (NCCC) through an anonymous community survey.
The survey is designed to better understand the community’s awareness of facility challenges, future priorities, and hopes for NCUHS and NCCC. All community members are encouraged to participate and share their perspectives.
The anonymous survey is open through October 13 and takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. It’s available online at www.dgsurveys.com/r/northcountryfuture.
As the two facilities approach 60 years of age, they face significant challenges that require thoughtful long-term planning. Many major building systems are nearing or have exceeded their expected lifespan. At the same time, teaching and learning have changed considerably over the past six decades. Today’s instructional approaches often require flexible learning environments, modern technology, and specialized spaces that the existing buildings were not originally designed to support and can be difficult to accommodate.
The contamination of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) identified through the state of Vermont’s testing program has added urgency to discussions regarding the facilities’ future. PCBs were once widely used in building materials, but are now banned due to potential health and environmental risks.
To help evaluate these issues, the North Country Supervisory Union has formed a Building Committee composed of staff, parents, community members, and other stakeholders. The committee is working to better understand the condition of the buildings, consider future educational needs, and explore possible long-term solutions.
Community feedback is an important part of this planning process. For more information on the facilities’ needs and the work taking place to evaluate them, visit www.northcountryfuture.org.
