BARRE, Vt. (WCAX) – A new report from Vermont education officials agency sheds light on how the state could keep property taxes from skyrocketing to pay for schools.
Among the options it includes are revising the school funding formula, reorganizing and restructuring districts to consolidate administrative costs, and aligning school personnel with student enrollment and needs. That could include increasing class sizes or decreasing paraprofessionals.
The topic is expected to take center stage when lawmakers return to the Statehouse in January.
