David Baker, who has led the Windsor-area supervisory union since 2012, accepted the post with OSSU last month, according to a post on the OSSU website. He is slated to begin the job on July 1.

What’s in Vermont’s 1st Covid ‘surveillance report’ — and what’s not
Erin Petenko
On Tuesday, (May 10) Vermont Health Commissioner Mark Levine announced the end of the state’s Covid-19 case dashboard, the central repository for the latest information on cases, hospitalizations and deaths.
The last dashboard update is scheduled for May 18. Instead, the state has launched a weekly surveillance report that will “look at this disease in a way that’s similar to how we look at other infectious diseases, such as the flu,” Levine said.
The Vermont Department of Health issued the first edition of this new report on Wednesday, including data from May 1 to May 7.
The update contains some of the same information as the dashboard, such as weekly case totals. It also contains new information on topics such as syndromic surveillance — a measure of emergency department visits for Covid-like illness — and wastewater monitoring.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday that eight Vermont counties have “high” community Covid-19 levels.
That’s a drop from the 12 counties with reportedly high levels last week. Grand Isle, Lamoille, Orleans and Caledonia dropped down from high to medium levels, while Windham moved up from low to medium, according to the CDC. Essex was the only county with low levels.
The CDC’s community levels are based on three metrics: recent Covid cases, hospital admissions and hospital beds taken up by Covid patients.
Covid cases in Vermont were mostly flat for the past week but remain at a far higher level than before BA.2 became the dominant subvariant in Vermont.
Hospital admissions reached a high of around 20 Covid patients per day last week — close to the numbers in the peak of the Omicron surge — but have dropped to about 11 per day in the past seven days, according to CDC data. It did not release data on hospital bed use.
The CDC recommends that people in high-level counties take broad-scale action to prevent Covid transmission, such as wearing masks. In medium counties, the CDC recommends that high-risk individuals take extra precautions to protect themselves.

COVID Cases in Vermont
What’s in Vermont’s 1st Covid ‘surveillance report’ — and what’s not
Erin Petenko
On Tuesday, (May 10) Vermont Health Commissioner Mark Levine announced the end of the state’s Covid-19 case dashboard, the central repository for the latest information on cases, hospitalizations and deaths.
The last dashboard update is scheduled for May 18. Instead, the state has launched a weekly surveillance report that will “look at this disease in a way that’s similar to how we look at other infectious diseases, such as the flu,” Levine said.
The Vermont Department of Health issued the first edition of this new report on Wednesday, including data from May 1 to May 7.
The update contains some of the same information as the dashboard, such as weekly case totals. It also contains new information on topics such as syndromic surveillance — a measure of emergency department visits for Covid-like illness — and wastewater monitoring.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday that eight Vermont counties have “high” community Covid-19 levels.
That’s a drop from the 12 counties with reportedly high levels last week. Grand Isle, Lamoille, Orleans and Caledonia dropped down from high to medium levels, while Windham moved up from low to medium, according to the CDC. Essex was the only county with low levels.
The CDC’s community levels are based on three metrics: recent Covid cases, hospital admissions and hospital beds taken up by Covid patients.
Covid cases in Vermont were mostly flat for the past week but remain at a far higher level than before BA.2 became the dominant subvariant in Vermont.
Hospital admissions reached a high of around 20 Covid patients per day last week — close to the numbers in the peak of the Omicron surge — but have dropped to about 11 per day in the past seven days, according to CDC data. It did not release data on hospital bed use.
The CDC recommends that people in high-level counties take broad-scale action to prevent Covid transmission, such as wearing masks. In medium counties, the CDC recommends that high-risk individuals take extra precautions to protect themselves.
