Grade school to open in former Green Mtn. College campus
POULTNEY, Vt. (WCAX) - A new grade school is slated to open on part of the former Green Mountain College campus.
The Bhakta family bought the property last year for $4.5 million with the aim of starting an agricultural school. They now plan to use at least part of the campus for a K-6 school in the fall to focus on “project-based and service-learning.”
The college closed in 2019 and has been empty since then. The Poultney Area Chamber of Commerce says any educational program at the campus is a positive for the town. It is unknown how many students have enrolled or how many teachers there will be. School officials did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday.
