Job Description: --------------------------------------------------------------

Union Elementary School (UES) sits in the middle of the progressive city of Montpelier, Vermont, the state’s capital, and serves students from Montpelier and Roxbury, Vermont. While offering a wide variety of cultural experiences that range from music to theater to lecture series in Montpelier itself, we are also a 40 minute drive to Burlington and right down the road from multiple world-class ski areas. Local lakes, hiking and mountain biking trails, nature centers offer ample opportunity for year-round outdoor activity that Vermont is known for around the globe. All this equates to Montpelier being an ideal spot to live, work, and play.

UES is searching for an interim elementary principal for its outstanding 375 current students and 75 staff members beginning immediately through the remainder of the 2021-2022 school year. We are a school that values cultural inclusivity, high levels of learning for all students, and outdoor education.

Vermont is an incredibly progressive state in the world of education and Montpelier Roxbury Public Schools lead the effort in many areas. MRPS is continually growing its system of proficiency-based learning, personalization, and effective multi-tiered system of supports so that all learners reach high levels of achievement. Our interim principal at UES will have the opportunity to lead a veteran staff in reaching our lofty goals for students.

The successful candidate will demonstrate:

-- The confidence to collaborate with a knowledgeable staff and District leadership team;

-- Instructional leadership focused within proficiency-based learning and effective multi-tiered systems of support;

-- A commitment to equity, inclusivity, and diversity with an expectation to eliminate the predictability of achievement based on identity status;

-- Proven relationship-building with students that not only encourages but also enables student voice;

-- Effective, proactive communication skills with students, parents, and District leadership;

-- An ability to cultivate a positive climate and healthy collaborative culture;

-- A connection to our community’s values.
