Welcome To The Orange Southwest Supervisory Union’s Website.
Nestled in the beautiful Green Mountains of central Vermont, the communities served by the Orange Southwest Supervisory Union offer the very essence of Vermont – verdant mountains, rambling streams, picturesque farms, covered bridges, and country inns – all within access of larger urban centers.
The Orange Southwest Supervisory Union (OSSU) serves the towns of Braintree, Brookfield, and Randolph, Vermont. The OSSU central office is the administrative center of the district, with the superintendent of schools, special education coordinator, business manager, and transportation coordinator.
Here you will find links to each of our five schools: Braintree Elementary, Brookfield Elementary, Randolph Elementary, Randolph Union High School, and the Randolph Technical Career Center; as well as information about our towns, students, educational goals and philosophies, and much more.
We encourage you to look around the site in order to learn more about our educational, athletic, music, drama, and other extra-curricular offerings; our school policies and procedures; and our approach to helping students grow into thoughtful, capable, and successful lifetime learners.
We also encourage you to contact our staff, faculty and administrators with questions or concerns about any of our programs or events. We’re glad you took a few minutes to stop by our web site, and we welcome your comments and suggestions.

Tell us what you think.
The school boards of Braintree, Brookfield and Randolph formed a study committee comprised of board and community members to investigate the pros and cons of merging our five school boards into a single governing board overseeing one school district, called a Regional Education District or RED. Our individual schools will continue to operate within this merged district.
RED Study Committee will hold a public forum on April 18 at 7 p.m. at RUHS to share what it has learned to date, seek input from community members, and answer questions. It will then decide how to move forward. The two options at that point will be:
1. Continue discussing the pros and cons of a RED and bring the issue to a vote in all three towns on November 6, 2012. If approved by voters in all three towns, the RED would be formed July 1, 2013.
OR
2. Disband the Committee and leave the existing 5-board structure in place.
