When the six towns that are in the current Harwood Unified Union School District (the HUUSD) voted to create a union school for 7th through 12th graders in 1965, the region became served by a total of seven school districts – a K-to-6 school district in each town, and a union school district for the then anticipated junior/senior high school. Seven school districts are too many for this region.

An open letter to the Harwood Unified Union School Board: On May 12, you were part of the spectacle of the year, one in which the administrative team of the consolidated school district was paraded before you en masse to coax you into reversing your earlier decision, one that you made in response to the request of more than 1,300 petitioners, to look into the abrupt firing of Moretown's first son, Harwood Boys Hockey Coach Jacob Grout.
