The Windham Southeast District School Board (WSESD Board) has formally engaged the services of Attorney Aimee Goddard of Buehler & Annis PLC to investigate reports of sexual abuse, harassment and/or abuse of power by current or former faculty, staff or administration. In addition, the investigation will examine whether current and/or former faculty, staff, or administration, including board members, had knowledge of any such misconduct and failed to take appropriate steps to protect students.
We know that reporting such painful events may require reporters to revisit uncomfortable feelings and difficult memories. Attorney Goddard has decades of experience working with survivors, victims, and their families and will make every effort to accommodate reporting needs in an environment that is safe and supportive.
Due to COVID-19 safety there will be no in person Windham Southeast School District Annual Meeting this year. You can vote on the school budget and for school board members by requesting a school ballot from your Town Clerk and voting absentee or by voting in person at each of the polling locations in Brattleboro, Dummerston, Guilford, and Putney on Tuesday, March 1st, 2022.
