Irene Resources for You and Your Students
From Tents to Hiking Trails: Vermont's Teachers Make Sure School Goes On!
The storm formerly known as Hurricane Irene struck Vermont with a vengeance, causing damage on a scale not seen here in decades. Every school in the state will no doubt have a teacher, support professional or student who has been directly touched by the storm. To help you find resources you need -- and to help you talk about the storm and its destructive aftermath with your students -- Vermont-NEA has put together this page of online help for you.
We hope that everyone stays safe, and please don't hesitate to call on us if you need anything. Remember, Vermonters are used to pulling together and getting through. We will all emerge from Irene stronger, safer and better.
