Equitable public education is the focus of a public program with Stephanie Yu, Deputy Director of the Public Assets Institute on Monday, March 25 at 7:00 p.m. at the Commons @ BALE, 35 S. Windsor Street in South Royalton.

Sponsored by BALE (Building A Local Economy), Yu's talk, titled "Meeting All Kids' Needs: Vermont School Funding" is the perfect opportunity for area school boards, Selectboards, teachers, school administrators and legislators to engage in this vital dialogue. The program includes discussion on the moral foundation of public education, how Vermont's equitable education funding system works, the principles underpinning it, and how it can best serve all Vermont's children. There will also be an opportunity to discuss what's next for school funding in Vermont.

This program is free and open to all. For more information, contact Chris at 802-498-8438.
