The Orleans Central Supervisory Union is a school district responsible for the education of students in the Vermont towns of Albany, Barton, Brownington, Glover, Irasburg, Orleans, and Westmore.

History

In 2004, the district sent certain at-risk students to Wheeler Mountain Academy. In 2008, they announced that they would terminate this relationship in 2009.[4]

In 2008, Union students' performance on the standardized New England Common Assessment Program tests appeared to outperform the North Country Supervisory Union (eight out of ten worst performing).[5]

Required by the state to do so, it furnished a part-time interventionist at the parochial St. Paul's school in 2010.[6]
