Paying for Education in Vermont

How is Vermont paying to educate it students? Just as school is starting for the 2009-2010 school year, state legislators and taxpayers are again looking at a 1997 Vermont Supreme Court case in which the state's high court ordered statewide education for students. Lawmakers and those who pay for the laws they make are trying to figure out how to pay for education. At the end of the 2009 session, the legislature called a 15-member committee to examine the potential improvements to the structure and funding of Vermont's educational system in light of the state's limited financial resources.
