MAU - August 6, 2026

The Southwest Vermont Supervisory Union held a meeting on August 6, 2026, where key procurement and budget discussions focused on ongoing capital improvement projects at Mount Anthony Union (MAU) High School. The board reviewed radon remediation efforts with expenses totaling $83,200 to date, funded from the MAUHS building operations projects budget. A significant technology infrastructure project was discussed involving the installation of cable trays and rewiring for phones, Wi-Fi, and a new public address system. Due to the building's age and complexity, only one qualified bid was received from Hathaway Electric for $295,000, which the board moved to award with a completion deadline by June 30, 2027. The total FY27 budget for MAUHS building projects is $400,000, covering both radon mitigation and cabling work. Additionally, the board ratified two collective bargaining agreements for teachers and support staff covering 2026-2028, including salary increases and updated contract language. Other agenda items included policy updates and administrative appointments, but no further procurement actions were taken.
