History
In 2004, the district sent certain at-risk students to Wheeler Mountain Academy. In 2008, they announced that they would terminate this relationship in 2009.
In 2008, Union students' performance on the standardized New England Common Assessment Program tests appeared to outperform the North Country Supervisory Union.
Required by the state to do so, it furnished a part-time interventionist at the parochial St. Paul's school in 2010.Footnotes
