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. This requires maintaining one elementary school in each of these towns, plus the Lake Region Union High School, in Orleans. The union is headquartered in Orleans.

  • 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.

    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).

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