Town should ensure funding for Fire and Rescue to have up to date training on all required courses. Education regarding volunteer services provided by Danville Rescue and Fire departments should be supported financially by the residents. Establish plan for maintenance of all emergency service equipment. Maintain alternate route plans created in the case of main routes being blocked. Responsibility for Implementation Selectboard and Fire Department C. Education Overview The Danville School District belongs to the Caledonia Central Supervisory Union. Children in grades Pre K-12 attend the Danville School, which offers elementary, middle, and high school instruction to all students within the regular classroom setting. The Danville community places a high value on education, and has high expectations for school programs and student achievement. This is evidenced by the annual support of school budgets, and by a high Town’s level of parent involvement in the school. During the 2008-2009 school year, the Danville School served 349 students. In addition to Pre K-12, approximately 30 students are enrolled in pre-school. A strategic plan is developed every 5 years by the school and each year when they draft the budget they have to match the plan. The challenge, as always, is how to provide a educational experience that remains affordable to the taxpayers. The Danville School also provides community uses, such as town meeting day and supervised community recreational events. The school is welcoming to the community and is lucky to have an active parent-teacher organization, alumni and boosters group. In 2010-2011, school will be participating in a grant to become a 21st Century Community Learning Center. Educational issues and concerns are not limited to the Pre K-12 years. For example, access to affordable, high-quality day care for young children is a continuing concern for both single- and two-parent families. Given the need for childcare in society, the Town shall ensure that today’s its policies and bylaws encourage, rather than impede, provision of these services. It is important that these facilities are integrated appropriately into residential neighborhoods, especially with regard to traffic, parking, noise, and other potential impacts. The Danville school can establish a partnership between the public and private sectors to identify and explore opportunities for new programming and utilizing interactive residents’ needs,
