Jonathan Ross, One of Waterford's Noted Residents (Chief Justice, Vermont Supreme Court)

When Waterford Began Its Kindergarten

These pages from 1970 give a good view of the issues at stake as Waterford's school expanded to include kindergarten. For today's readers, it may be surprising to learn that kindergartens weren't common in northeastern Vermont in the 1960s and early 1970s. Concord's collaboration in this presentation is also interesting, as this preceded the movement to tie together education across town lines.
