Dear Ludlow-Mount Holly School District Community,

For your convenience, the LMHUUSD annual report is available on the Two Rivers Supervisory Union's website at www.TRSU.org .

This document contains essential information to help voters make informed decisions at the polls in March. The superintendent's report within the annual report explains how school taxes and education funding are determined in the state of Vermont. It is important to understand that your school taxes are influenced by factors beyond statewide education spending. The superintendent's report clarifies how much of the change in your taxes is due to increased education spending across Vermont versus changes in the market values of local property.

For the 2026-27 school year, LMHUUSD is proposing a "level service budget." In practical terms, this means the district is requesting just enough funding to maintain all current programs, staffing, services, and daily operations exactly as they are—without adding or eliminating anything. To achieve this, we are seeking a modest increase in our budget to account for rising costs associated with providing these same services next year.

The current LMH budget is $10,153,619, we are seeking a level service budget for 2026-27 of $10,455,017. This is a 2.97% increase.

We appreciate your attention to these details and encourage you to review the attached annual report and visit our website for more information. If you have questions or would like further clarification, please reach out to the district office.

Most Sincerely,

Layne Millington

TRSU Superintendent
