Charlotte/Hinesburg Configuration Study

In May 2025, the CVSD school board asked district administration to evaluate the current and potential future configuration of Hinesburg Community School (HCS) and Charlotte Central School (CCS)—a longstanding topic of conversation in the community.

The study committee is examining a wide variety of trends and data related to the schools’ current configuration and the impacts of moving grades 6-8 from HCS to CCS. Areas of consideration include student opportunity, transportation, enrollment, staffing, curricular and co-curricular offerings, facilities, and more.

This work will take place throughout the 2025-26 academic year and will include numerous open meetings and opportunities for community feedback. Community forums and surveys are planned for late winter.

The study committee will make a recommendation to the Board on May 19, 2026, regarding whether restructuring is advised. At a later meeting (to be scheduled), the school board will discuss the recommendation and take action.
