Informative, provocative, unique... Published by Vermonters for Better Education VBE is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization whose mission is to enlist parents and the public at large in achieving quality educational opportunities for all the children of Vermont by monitoring the state of education in Vermont; promoting the value of educational freedoms for all parents; and giving parents the evaluative tools with which to identify excellence. Libby Sternberg, executive director: LSternberg@aol.com ONE BID WINS QUALITY STUDY The National Center on Education Finance (NCEF), a branch of the National Conference of State Legislatures, was awarded a contract from the Vermont Department of Education (VDOE) to perform an education quality study for the Vermont legislature. NCEF was virtually alone in putting in a successful bid. According to Bill Talbott, director of the VDOE's financial office, requests for proposals were sent to eight organizations and posted on the VDOE's web site. This generated three responses - one from Odden and Picus Associates, who decided the money allocated for the study ($50,000) wasn't enough, one from Augenblick, Palaich and Associates, who said they could do it using VDOE resources and staff, and the successful bid from NCEF.

Opportunities Old Schools, New Challenges Vermont's classic classrooms pricey to maintain Free Press Staff Writer Published May 4, 2005 WATERBURY The sturdy brick walls, 16-foot ceilings, beadboard trim and varnished wood floors at the historic Thatcher Brook School are examples of the rich architectural character found in many of Vermont's old schools. The leaky basement, lack of sprinklers and antiquated steam heat are also typical. They demonstrate the challenges of keeping Vermont's old-soldier schools in service. In June, Waterbury residents will go the polls to consider bonds totaling $7.8 million to improve parking, handicapped access, fire safety and the heating system at Thatcher Brook, the oldest part of which dates to 1897. Community surveys suggest the town wants to keep the old school in use rather than build a new one, and supporters of the improvements say the work is long overdue. Twice before, voters have disagreed. They rejected the proposals once in 2002 and again 2003. These defeats, as well as similar ones around Vermont, illustrate the challenges of keeping old schools going.

Back to Veterans Specific Regulations Significant Federal Register Submissions of Interest to Veterans [July 1998] Payment for Non-VA Physician Services Associated with Either Outpatient or Inpatient Care Provided at Non-VA Facilities - The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) published a final rule in the Federal Register on July 23, 1998 to amend VA medical regulations concerning payment for non-VA physician services that are associated with outpatient or inpatient care provided to eligible VA beneficiaries at non-VA facilities. Generally, when a service-specific reimbursement amount has been calculated under Medicare's Participating Physician Fee Schedule, VA would pay the lesser of the actual billed charge or the calculated amount. Also, when an amount has not been calculated or when the services constitute anesthesia services, VA would pay the amount calculated under a 75th percentile formula or, in certain limited circumstances, VA would pay the usual and customary rate. Consistent with statutory requirements, the regulations specify that VA payment constitutes payment in full. Effective Date: August 24, 1998.

Membership Directory Meet Our Newest Members Join the Chamber Chamber Store ... NEW! College Guide GBIC and the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce support efforts to ensure that Vermont is a state where businesses can remain economically competitive in an era of increasing use of e-commerce and technology and where all Vermont residents can participate in this new era. We believe that technology is inseparable from Vermont’s economic future and that the use of technology is congruent with Vermont’s image and character. For Vermont to be competitive in the global economy, it must attract, promote, create and retain industries that embrace technology. Greater use of technology will permit the State of Vermont to promote itself not only as a location that offers a high quality of life but also as a location with leading-edge technology and telecommunications. As seen in the context of a life cycle, Vermont must provide as much support as possible for high technology startup companies and the foundation infrastructure required for subsequent phases of business development. We also support policies and legislation that specifically foster growth of high technology companies in Vermont. High technology companies have many attributes consistent with Vermont's image and values. High technology companies typically offer higher than average pay and benefits for their employees, generally are net economic contributors to their surrounding communities and typically have limited impact on the surrounding environment. Vermont is not alone, however, in wanting to attract high technology companies and must effectively compete with other states for these desirable companies. Vermont must have the resource infrastructure and technology backbone to effectively compete with other states for such companies.

70. Mandatory Continuing Education Rules Vary Across New England Efforts to require continuing education (CE) for psychologists in New York vermont places a strong emphasis on mandatory CE, requiring 60 credit hours http://www.nepsy.com/leading/0503_ne_ce.html

Mandatory continuing education rules vary across New England (March 2005 Issue) By Pamela Berard Efforts to require continuing education (CE) for psychologists in New York fell through in 2004 when a bill's progress was aborted at the urging of members of the New York State Psychological Association, according to reports. Nationwide, views regarding mandatory CE vary from state to state. In most states, CE requirements must also be passed through the General Assembly and are overseen by state boards such as the Office of Professional Regulation in Vermont and the Board of Mental Health Practice in New Hampshire. New York is one of nine states plus the District of Columbia with no mandatory CE requirements for psychologists. Connecticut is the only New England state without it. Betty Ann Foy, administrative director of the Connecticut Psychological Association (CPA), says its Board of Directors voted against the measure several years ago. Still, she says, "There are many opportunities within the state to get continuing education for psychologists," and many seek such opportunities on their own.
