Jenna’s Promise, a non-profit recovery organization based in Johnson, has received a justice reinvestment grant of nearly $241,000 from Vermont Department of Corrections to expand reentry services and community supports for formerly incarcerated women recovering from addiction.

If recent trends hold up, by the time you read this, hundreds of people will have already voted for the latest Elmore-Morristown school budget, even though the official vote is not until May 21 and the informational meeting to discuss it is not until next week.
