The scorecard was a tool, not a verdict: we need to solve this together

I taught at Moretown for nearly four decades, starting as a paraeducator at Waitsfield, and both my children attended Waitsfield K–6. I worked as administrative assistant at Brookside. My husband was facilities director at Warren for nearly ten years and worked at Fayston before Warren.

Moretown flooded in 2011 during Tropical Storm Irene, followed by significant repairs and mitigation. The school has not experienced river flooding again, even during later storms. In 2023–24, Moretown had two groundwater flooding events.
