Editing Springfield, Vermont (section)

==Education==
Springfield's [[Public school (government funded)|public school]] system currently has two [[elementary school]]s, one [[middle school]] grades 6–8, and one [[high school]] grades 9–12. These schools are overseen by a five-member [[school board]] elected individually by staggered elections to three year terms. In 2006 the public technical school, the River Valley Technical Center, left the Springfield School District to form its own district. The Springfield School District is currently undertaking action to renovate its elementary schools. The School Board plans to expand Union Street School and Elm Hill School, while the voters decided in 2008 to cease using Park Street School as a school "As soon as possible" due to prohibitive refurbishment costs and safety issues.

===Elementary and middle schools===
The city's two public elementary schools are Elm Hill and Union Street Schools.

Riverside Middle School is the town's only public [[middle school]] (grades 6–8). It has many fields, including four baseball fields for the elementary, middle-school and high school baseball teams, due to the lack of any fields on the other premises.
