		DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION IN VERMONT     The Vermont State Board of Education has 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 recently adopted by the State Board of Education. Much of the time on the next few State Board monthly meeting agendas will be 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, plans are underway for the Commissioner to hold regional conversations.     CURRENT LINKS & RESOURCES       The Future of Education in Vermont The State Board of Education and Commissioner Richard Cate articulated their vision for the future of education in Vermont. The Vision document is the starting point for several public conversations which began with the October 16 State Board meeting, at which students and parents participated in roundtable discussions on the future of education.       Commissioner's Regional Meetings with Students For questions about the student meetings, contact Heather Schneider at (802) 828-5130 or heather.schneider@state.vt.us.             February 8 Randolph Randolph Technical Career Center 17 Forest Street 9:45 A           February 11 Milton Milton Junior/Senior High School 17 Rebecca Lander Drive 2:00 P         February 12 Wilmington Twin Valley High School One School Street 9:45 A         February 21 Newport North Country Union High School #22 209 Veterans Avenue 11:00 A         February 26 Manchester Burr & Burton Academy Seminary Avenue 1:00 P         March 13 Burlington Edmunds Middle School 275 Main Street 3:00 P   Input from State Board Meetings/Discussions The following documents provide word-for-word dictations and summarized versions of specific public comments offered by constituent groups at Vermont State Board of Education meetings and future venues around the state.
