From Janet Ancel:
The Ways and Means and Education Committees will jointly hold a Public Hearing on H.883, the education governance bill, on Wednesday, April 9 in Room 11 at the State House from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. If you're interested in speaking, sign-ups will begin at 4:30 PM. We will also accept written testimony.

The bill is currently being considered in House Ways and Means. We felt we would benefit from having an opportunity for public comment before making a decision about how to proceed.

My thoughts:
I hope many from our communities will consider attending and testifying at the Public Hearing on the VT House Education bill H.883. Among my personal concerns regarding this bill (I have a few) is the elimination of our local school board which would substantially decrease local voice in the education of out children.
