1. What assessment data can be graphed with the Vermont School Improvement Guide? The following statewide, standardized, standards-based assessments are the basis for the website: Standards-based assessments are any assessments that provide information about how students are performing in relation to the expectations in the standards. This includes assessments such as standardized standards-based tests, criterion-referenced tests, and portfolios. It also includes classroom projects, tests, assignments, or quizzes that are aligned to the standards. For action planning, schools need to look at standards-based assessments that are administered to all students at a grade level. This includes state and local measures. The statewide, standards-based assessments (which are termed "large scale assessments") are data about the school's program - not just about the grade at which the assessment was administered. The New Standards mathematics assessment at Grade 4, for instance, reveals information about a school's elementary mathematics program.

CHARTER SCHOOL STUDY COMMITTEE MEETS AT LAST The first meeting of the charter school study committee took place on Wednesday, September 26. Legislative Council staff member Anne Winchester made a presentation on the committee's charge and an overview of how the committee could work. She was followed by John Nelson of the department of education (DOE) who spoke about special education issues. Next up was the DOE's Bud Myers who talked about standards in Vermont schools and how they might have an impact on charter schools. After a break for lunch, Education Commissioner David Wolk spoke very positively about charter schools, but he was followed by presentations from charter opponents Edie Miller of the Vermont School Boards Association and Joel Cook of the Vermont NEA.

State General Fund Transfer
The General Fund pays for most of the services that state government provides, such as the state police or the Health Department.
Money transferred from the General Fund is the second-largest revenue source for Vermont schools.
Of the many tax sources that are deposited in the General Fund, the largest is the income tax.
State law provides that the legislature and Governor must transfer a certain amount from the General Fund to the Education Fund each year.
For FY-05 the amount to be transferred is $249.3 million. This amount is adjusted each year, rising and falling at the same rate as total General Fund spending. While the law provides the amount that will be transferred each year, the legislature and the Governor can change the law.
Every dollar the legislature transfers from the General Fund to the Education Fund is a dollar that does not need to be raised in property taxes.
Attempts to reduce this transfer to make money available for other uses end up increasing property taxes. Similarly, shifting costs to the Education Fund that previously had been funded from the General Fund also increases property taxes.

Vermont's School Choice Program:
Neutral to Religion
In Vermont's rural setting, many small towns cannot afford or simply don't have enough students to maintain a public high school. To ensure children in these towns receive a quality education, the state created a school tuition program allowing rural parents to select the private schools that best meet their children's needs. The town itself has no influence as to the school selected by the parents. After parents have chosen a school, which can include out-of-state institutions, the town then pays the tuition. The town's share of the tuition for private high schools is capped at the average cost of Vermont public high school tuition. The participation of religious schools is critical to the success of choice pilot programs nationwide and is a common characteristic of voucher programs in Wisconsin and Ohio. Both programs are defended in court by the Institute for Justice. Vermont's state law establishing a tuition system does not distinguish between religiously and non-religiously affiliated schools. On its face, it is utterly neutral. However, recent church/state controversies have arisen. In addition, Vermont's Department of Education terminated the town of Chittenden's general state education assistance because the Chittenden school board did not rescind its policy of including religiously affiliated schools among the public and private high schools for which it pays its students' tuition. The Department of Education denied their state general aid effective September 1, when the first payment would normally be sent out. (State aid represents about 10 percent of Chittenden's school budget.) If Chittenden rescinds the policy of allowing parents to select religiously affiliated schools and pay for them with their share of state funds, the flow of aid will be restored.

BURLINGTON SCHOOLS C.2. FY 2002 PER STUDENT COST
A question asked frequently throughout the year pertains to the per student cost of public education in the City of Burlington. It is difficult to give one standard answer to each inquiry because the point of view of interested individuals or organizations can vary as to which program components should be included or excluded in determining the cost of public education. For example, the definition of what constitutes per student costs for the Vermont Department of Education is substantially different from student costs calculated on a total cost per student enrollment basis. The State, in determining the cost of the regular instructional program, excludes the costs associated with capital equipment outlay and such programs as adult education, miscellaneous educational programs and others. The table on the following page is included as part of the school system’s effort to give the community more information on per student costs. This table attempts to explain how the costs can vary because the operational definition of per student cost is different.

Vermont Hazing Law
NO. 120. AN ACT RELATING TO THE CRIME OF HAZING. (S.76) It is hereby enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Vermont: Sec. 1. STATEMENT OF POLICY The general assembly has been made increasingly aware that harassment and hazing have become a major and pervasive problem within our schools, and that students who are continually filled with apprehension and anxiety are unable to learn and unlikely to succeed. Therefore, it is the policy of the state of Vermont that all Vermont educational institutions provide safe, orderly, civil and positive learning environments. Harassment, hazing and bullying have no place and will not be tolerated in Vermont schools. No Vermont student should feel threatened or be discriminated against while enrolled in a Vermont school.

Racial Harassment in Vermont Public Schools Chapter 3 Overview of the Vermont Public School System and State Enforcement Agencies Intended as an overview of the Vermont public school system and State enforcement of antiharassment laws, this chapter provides State demographic and school enrollment data and a description of three Vermont State agencies charged with monitoring civil rights. A description of the organizational structure of the school system is included in addition to a review of the respective jurisdictional boundaries of the commissioner of the Department of Education and school supervisory unions. This is followed by a brief overview of the State’s Equal Educational Opportunity Act (Act 60) and ways it fails to address racial harassment issues. Lastly, the chapter reviews the Vermont Department of Education, Vermont Human Rights Commission, and the Vermont Attorney General’s Criminal and Civil Rights Enforcement Units. For each agency listed, the Committee describes the jurisdiction, staffing, and enforcement difficulties stemming from statutory or financial constraints. Elementary and Secondary Public School Enrollment According to the 1990 census, Vermont has a total minority population of 10,523, which represents 1.84 percent of the State’s total population of 571,334 residents. Of Vermont’s 14 counties, Chittenden, Franklin, and Washington Counties account for the largest percentage of minorities in the State. Chittenden, the State’s most populous county, has the highest number of African American, Asian American, and Hispanic residents (see table 3.1).

http://www.usccr.gov/pubs/sac/vt1003/ch1.htm
Racial Harassment in Vermont Public Schools: A Progress Report Chapter 1 Introduction In its February 1999 report, Racial Harassment in Vermont Public Schools (the 1999 Report), the Vermont Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (the Committee) concluded that “racial harassment appears pervasive in and around the state’s public schools,” observing that “the elimination of this harassment is not a priority among school administrators, school boards, elected officials, and state agencies charged with civil rights enforcement.” When the 1999 Report was released, there was little comprehensive data with which to assess the extent of racial harassment in Vermont. But since then, several sources have become available indicating how serious the problem is. 1. Partly in response to the 1999 Report, the Vermont General Assembly in 2000 passed an anti-harassment and hazing law, commonly known as Act 120, requiring schools to submit annual data on harassment and hazing incidents to the Vermont Department of Education (see appendix 1). Thus, we now know that 25 percent of the 2,551 harassment and hazing incidents reported for the 2001–2002 school year were race related. Given that Vermont’s nonwhite students represent 4.17 percent of the total school population in the 2002–2003 school year, the disproportionate number of race-related harassment incidents is truly alarming. Table 1 below shows the percentage of minority students in Vermont schools for the years 1993–2003.
