Town Meeting Day

Legacy hosts an Annual Town Meeting to celebrate community successes, determine next steps towards realizing the Legacy Vision, and to share information and data relevant to the Plan.  The Legacy Town Meeting is also used as a venue to announce and honor the “Peter Clavelle Legacy Award” winner.  The Peter Clavelle award winner is a community member selected by the Steering Committee for “outstanding efforts to make Burlington a More Sustainable Community and to Improve the Economic, Social and Environmental Health for Future Generations.”  Jeanne Collins, Superintendent, Burlington School District, was honored in 2010. Jeanne has been Superintendent since 2005, and has launched alternative public schools in Vermont and Arizona. Superintendent Collins also serves on several committees and boards, including the Burlington Legacy Project. Jeanne was honored for her commitment to equity and excellence in the Burlington schools, as well as the successful launch of two new magnet schools: Sustainability Academy and Lawrence Barnes and the Integrated Arts Academy at H. O. Wheeler.
