Laraway School Director Appointed to State Panel

            Julie Landry, Director of Laraway School at Laraway Youth & Family Services, was appointed to serve on the Council of Independent Schools.  The Council, established in 1990, advises the Vermont Secretary of Education on policies and procedures for independent schools.  The Council’s eleven members include representatives from approved and recognized independent schools, as well as two members of the general public.

          “I’m delighted to serve on the Council as a representative for approved independent schools,” Landry says.  “Vermont’s independent schools provide critical education and treatment to meet the needs of at-risk youth in our community.”
          Laraway responds to the needs of at-risk kids and their families by offering innovative, strength-based services through alternative education, therapeutic foster care, and public school based support programs.
