The Champlain Valley North CESA (CNCESA) — representing MVSD, Maple Run USD, Franklin West SU, Grand Isle SU, Milton Town SD, and Franklin Northeast SU — convened its Board of Directors for the first time on October 1st at Milton Middle School. Board Treasurer Bill Kimball led a review of draft governance bylaws, and Board Chair Julie Regimbal presented updates from statewide CESA coordination meetings, including a presentation from a New York BOCES executive director on shared programming models and consultations with the Agency of Education on compliance and financial setup. Immediate next steps include securing official state recognition to obtain a federal EIN, finalizing a short-term fiscal host arrangement with a member district, and submitting draft MOUs for legal review.
