Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union

The Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union is an active, open public administrative district situated at 157 Daniels Road in Hardwick, Vermont. Located within a remote, rural community setting, the entity functions as a regional supervisory union designed to provide centralized support rather than directly running individual academic facilities. As reflected in 2024–2025 data, the district directly manages zero operational schools and does not directly offer grade-level instruction spanning from prekindergarten through grade 12 or adult education. Community members, families, and researchers seeking information regarding its administrative oversight can contact the district office by phone at (802) 472-6531 or visit their online portal at www.ossu.org.

To fulfill its administrative and service-oriented mandate, the Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union maintains a full-time equivalent (FTE) workforce of 73.9 personnel. The staffing structure strongly mirrors its supervisory and administrative focus, relying primarily on 70.9 FTE support staff members alongside 2.0 FTE teachers and 1.0 FTE instructional aide. Serving geographic constituents within Vermont's CAL State Senate District and CA2 State House District, the supervisory union delivers vital operational infrastructure and centralized resources across its rural footprint.
