AGENCY OF EDUCATION
THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION IN VERMONT

   
OVERVIEW
   
 

In the Fall of 2007, the Vermont State Board of Education embarked on a public engagement process regarding the future of education in Vermont. This process was kicked off by the release of The Future of Education in Vermont, a transformation document adopted by the State Board of Education.

Much of the time on the next few State Board monthly meeting agendas was dedicated to conversations between State Board members and representatives of various constituent groups, including students, parents, teachers, principals, superintendents, school board members, legislators and other political leaders, representatives of the business community and other constituent groups. In addition, the Commissioner held regional conversations with students.

The Future of Education in Vermont
The State Board of Education and former Commissioner Richard Cate articulated their vision for the future of education in Vermont. The Vision document was the starting point for several public conversations which began with the October 16, 2007 State Board meeting, at which students and parents participated in roundtable discussions on the future of education.
