Assistant principal taking job in Addison County schools
Charlotte Central School assistant principal, Courtney Krahn, will be taking a job in Addison County next year. She has spent this last year as part of the Charlotte Central School administrative team.
“After having spent the last eight months with your children and the stellar staff at Charlotte Central School, I write with mixed emotions to let you know that, after much reflection, I’ve accepted the position of director of teaching and learning in the Addison Central School District, which is the community I live in, where my husband teaches and where my three kids attend school.
“While I’m looking forward to this unexpected opportunity closer to home, I do want you to know that it was not my intention for my tenure with you to be so short. I’ve always thought — and still think — that Charlotte Central School is a wonderful community, and I feel like I am just now truly getting to know the Charlotte Central School students and their families, an opportunity for which I’ve been so grateful.
“My time at Charlotte Central School has been filled with joy, and I’m looking forward to working, learning and playing alongside your kids through the end of this school year,” Krahn wrote.
Pandemic electronic transfer payments
Vermont will be issuing a final round of pandemic electronic transfer payments benefits for this summer. All our students qualify for a benefit of $120 per student because free school meals are being offered to all students this year.
The benefit will be sent to the head of household and the mailing address held on file for the student. If a parent has moved or needs to update the head of household, please contact the school office to let the school know.
These benefits will be sent out by mid-August. If the student missed school for a COVID-related reason between February 2023 and May 11, 2023, benefits for those days will be transferred at the same time.
To request a new card or for more info about P- pandemic electronic transfer payments benefits, visit the website or call 1‐800‐479‐6151, option 7.
