I am writing to share my concerns with S.66 and H.258, which would prohibit most of the state’s independent schools from receiving public tuition money. Under this proposal, schools such as the Village School of North Bennington (VSNB) would cease to exist. This would be a crisis for our community and for the Vermont education system as a whole.
Schools like VSNB make it possible for ALL children within our community, specifically North Bennington and Shaftsbury District 1, to have an excellent education in a safe and inclusive learning environment.
Bills S.66 and H.258 would eliminate an invaluable and beloved community resource.
Sincerely,
