Extractions: Providing an excellent educational opportunity for each of our Vermont children is one of the most important investments we can make for the future of Vermont. However, the cost of education has increased significantly in recent years. Between fiscal year 1992 and fiscal year 2002, the revenues (from all sources) to fund public education jumped from $672.9 million to $1.052 billion. According to U.S. Census data for fiscal year 2001, Vermont ranked 8th in the nation for per pupil spending, 2nd in the nation for school spending in relation to personal income and 1st in the nation for school administration spending per pupil. In addition, according to the U.S. Department of Education, Vermont had the lowest pupil teacher ratio in the nation in fiscal year 2001. Although we want excellent educational outcomes for Vermont students, we also have to pay attention to education costs. Projected education spending increases of 4.50% in fiscal year 2004 and 4.75% in fiscal years 2005 and 2006 are not sustainable. Act 68, passed by the legislature in 2003, revised Vermonts education funding system to provide some new revenue sources. However, by fiscal year 2006, education spending is projected to outpace revenues by $15 million. We therefore need to act now to restrain the growth in education costs.
Resources Promoting Students On School Boards INTRODUCTION (2005) STUDENT participation on boards of education is a small vermont was Tracking Em - (2002) According to the vermont School Board http://www.soundout.org/Guide.106.html
Extractions: About Us Resources Publications Partners ... News STUDENTS ON SCHOOL BOARDS Students on School Boards of Education Resource Guide Last Updated March 200 INTRODUCTION- STUDENT participation on boards of education is a small part of a much larger movement towards meaningful student involvement throughout education. Since the 1960s the effort to promote student representation has waxed and waned, according to the will of school officials and the sincere interest of students involved. Today that tide is turning, and students across the US are calling for deepened engagement in the decision-making that affects them on all levels - in the classroom, in the auditorium, and in the boardroom. This guide can also serve students, educators, administrators, and concerned community members around the nation as they lobby for student participation on school boards of education. This is a multi-topic resource guide promoting Student Voice, Participation, Engagement, Involvement, and Representation on Local, District, Regional, and State Boards of Education. Includes research, examples, and other resources for students, educators, administrators, and concerned community members who support validating student voice in school decision-making by including students on local and state school boards of education.

Extractions: About Us Resources Publications Partners ... News STUDENTS AS EDUCATION DECISION-MAKERS Meaningful Student Involvement in Education Decision-Making By partnering with educators, students across the nation are making decisions about more than school dances and t-shirt designs. By applying their classroom learning and critical thinking, students make decisions about curricula, calendar year planning, and building design. They are joining boards of education at all levels, including local, district, and state boards. Education agencies engage students in their programs and engage students in grant making, school assessment, and planning. In a growing number of local schools, educators are allowing students to take a governing role in enforcing discipline policies, and using them to educate students. Students are also participating in establishing and enforcing codes of conduct, and making decisions about teacher and administrator hiring and firing. EXAMPLES Old School Practice/New School Thinking - In Anne Arundel County, Maryland students here have participated as voting members of the district board of education for more than 25 years. The student member is a high school senior who votes on all issues, including all areas of the school budget, discipline, and fiscal issues. In addition, every advisory, curriculum, and study committee, along with special task forces in the district includes students, working on everything from grading policies to alternative learning.

Extractions: VERMONT Human Resources Investment Council 2001 Annual Report The Human Resources Investment Council (HRIC) is a business majority council with members representing all sectors of the economy and all geographic regions. In addition, Council membership includes top officials from public education, higher education, agencies that provide employment and training services, labor, the low-income community, and representatives of the Senate and House. The Council's mission is to "promote and ensure the development, implementation, and utilization of an integrated, results oriented workforce education and training system". The purpose of this system is two-fold; to prepare Vermonters for good jobs, and to provide Vermont employers with a competitive advantage in the changing world economy. The Council has established and is responsible for the development of 12 Regional Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs). These regional volunteer boards are the eyes and ears of the system, working closely with employers, schools, colleges and community organizations to maximize the effectiveness of all of the state's workforce education and training programs. Vermont's State and regional system is now recognized national model and this has positioned us to compete successfully for over 5 million dollars in Federal grant and performance incentive funds. The investment the State makes in the HRIC/WIB infrastructure is critical to our continued success. 2001 Accomplishments: Regional Workforce Plans - Completion of the first cycle of Regional Workforce Plans by the WIBs that identify training opportunities and direct the investment of public and private training resources.

Institute For Justice: School Choice Cases: Chittenden, VT Dr. Nasveschuk appealed the denial to the State Board of education, which concluded Prior to 1961, vermont school boards using the tuitioning procedure http://www.ij.org/schoolchoice/vermont/backgrounder.html
Extractions: Neutral to Religion In Vermont's rural setting, many small towns cannot afford or simply don't have enough students to maintain a public high school. To ensure children in these towns receive a quality education, the state created a school tuition program allowing rural parents to select the private schools that best meet their children's needs. The town itself has no influence as to the school selected by the parents. After parents have chosen a school, which can include out-of-state institutions, the town then pays the tuition. The town's share of the tuition for private high schools is capped at the average cost of Vermont public high school tuition. The participation of religious schools is critical to the success of choice pilot programs nationwide and is a common characteristic of voucher programs in Wisconsin and Ohio. Both programs are defended in court by the Institute for Justice. Vermont's state law establishing a tuition system does not distinguish between religiously and non-religiously affiliated schools. On its face, it is utterly neutral. However, recent church/state controversies have arisen. In addition, Vermont's Department of Education terminated the town of Chittenden's general state education assistance because the Chittenden school board did not rescind its policy of including religiously affiliated schools among the public and private high schools for which it pays its students' tuition. The Department of Education denied their state general aid effective September 1, when the first payment would normally be sent out. (State aid represents about 10 percent of Chittenden's school budget.) If Chittenden rescinds the policy of allowing parents to select religiously affiliated schools and pay for them with their share of state funds, the flow of aid will be restored.
