## Resource

Harwood School District is eyeing a bold overhaul—shrinking seven schools to just three—with a potential new elementary hub at the Cabot Creamery building in Waitsfield. Priced at $2.95 million, the existing office complex impressed district leaders with its sturdy structure and natural light, making it a prime candidate for conversion, even with needed additions like a gym and cafeteria. The move aligns with state-wide cost-cutting pressures and Cabot’s own plan to downsize its Waitsfield staff by 115. While past proposals for the Waitsfield Elementary site fell through, this new option could offer a more feasible path. The district is now weighing costs, class sizes, staffing, and community feedback as it navigates this complex, high-stakes transformation.
