Welcome to the Vermont School Report! The Vermont School Report is an annual report developed by the Vermont Department of Education and is continuously updated as new information becomes available throughout the year. The Average Class Size indicator is no longer included in the Vermont School Report because a change in reporting precludes cross-year comparisons. In FY04, DOE stopped collecting data on itinerant teachers making it impossible to separate classroom teachers from itinerant as necessary for calculating the average class size. Please refer to the Student Teacher ratio for a comparable indicator that remains unaffected by the change in reporting requirements. 2002-2003 SAT and 2002-2001 AP data by school are not reported on the Vermont School Report. Indicators about Vermont's Public Schools are displayed in seven sections: 1. General Information 5. Financial Resources 2. Program Information 6. Financial Expenditures 3. Staff Information 7. Student Performance 4. Community Social Indicators The Vermont School Report was last updated April 5, 2004.

Usually the identity thief changes the consumer’s mailing address on new or old accounts to hide his or her illegal activities.

Understanding Act 60 and Education Finance: An Objective Look at the Content, Context, and Implications of Vermont's Current Education Finance Legislation (rlane@together.net) Abstract Preface The History of Public Education Finance in Vermont ... Thanks Abstract Act 60 is the controversial law that defines how we pay for public schools in Vermont. There has been a great deal written about Act 60 and education finance in general, but most of what has been written is far from objective in tone. As a school board member, I wanted access to an unbiased account of how Act 60 works and why it was enacted. Although I found pieces of the story in various places, I didn't find an integrated synthesis of the literature on this important topic, so I decided to undertake the task myself in a semester-long independent study project at Vermont College. My goals for this study were to acquire a thorough understanding of Act 60, to develop respect for the concerns of its opponents and proponents, and to write a document that could help others understand Act 60. The three essays in this portfolio concern the history of education finance in Vermont, a detailed analysis of Act 60, and a comparative review of modern education finance solutions in other states.

That is the most recent year for which comprehensive data are available from the recently released U.S. Department of Education’s Digest of Education Statistics. That level of spending, which does not include capital or debt service costs, ranked Vermont eleventh highest in the nation. The highest spending state was New Jersey, at $10,200. The lowest was Utah at $4,050 and the national average was $6,400. That Vermont spending level represents the last year of pre-Act 60 education finance. What’s happened since then?

Why Act 60 is NOT GOOD for Vermont (last updated 12/20/97) "A fresh outhouse made of pine smells good until you start using it." - Mary Adams on a statewide property tax (Burlington Free Press, 3/19/97, p.1B) Quality of Education Educational Funding Local Control State Control ... References Reduced Quality of Education see details below Moreover, Act 60 mandates are very likely to force reductions in educational quality by underfunding Vermont education and by seizing a disproportionate share of local educational resources in numerous cities and towns across the state. Some say it will not happen, and we hope they are correct. To many, however, it seems inevitable that dozens of Vermont cities and towns will have to find ways to cut their school budgets. Many current centers of educational excellence will see their budgets slashed so deeply that it’s difficult to imagine how they will cope. There is a clear risk that education will be 'dumbed down' across the state; many art, music, band, chorus, drama, sports, advanced placement programs, foreign language classes, and after-school programs are threatened; in some towns class sizes will have to increase, and some good educators will loose their jobs. Perhaps this will not happen, but according to recent research, there has never been an increase in any measure of educational quality consequent to increased centralization of educational finance (Fischel, 1997). As recently expressed by South Burlington Educators Association President Richard Wise (
