The Vermont Agency of Education is in the process of collecting needs assessment information from key stakeholders to inform the next round of State Personnel Development Grant (SPDG) funding to begin proposal writing this fall. You have been invited to participate in one of 4 stakeholder input meetings to be held on August 31, 2016 at the Hilton Burlington Hotel in Burlington and September 28, 2016 at the Killington Mountain Lodge (formally known as the Inn of the Six Mountains) in Killington. Each day, there will be two input meeting times from which to choose: 9:00-11:30 a.m. or 1:00-3:30 p.m. Please take a moment to complete the RSVP survey, so we can plan on attendance and ensure that key stakeholders have an opportunity to provide input to the SPDG team.
At each meeting, we will share the AOE vision for the next grant cycle and then collect your thoughts, comments and questions as we move to the next step in developing the program design.
