Thu, 03/11/2021 - 9:50am tim The Coalition for Equal Educational Opportunities, Alison Notte, et al Our Vermont legislators recently commissioned a state-of-the-art study to investigate how best to apportion funds to schools equitably.  Unfortunately for the students of Vermont, it detailed serious inequities in school funding.  What this study unveiled was an outdated distribution of funds to its districts. For twenty years the tax structure in Vermont has skewed away from fully supporting our most vulnerable students and families. Nearly 60% of Vermont schools have had their equalized students undercounted, some by more than 20%.  This has led to higher tax rates and fewer resources for these schools. This has left lasting scars on our kids, and the deepest scars are in the poorest school districts.
