VT-AOE Seeking Comment on State Plan for Federal Law

Paid Posting, localbiz@frontporchforum.com, Front Porch Forum

The Vermont Agency of Education is seeking public comment on the draft state plan for the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). ESSA is the major federal legislation providing funding to schools to support the education of Vermont’s historically marginalized students. Roughly $60 million comes to Vermont schools annually through ESSA. The proposed plan substantially reconsiders how schools in Vermont are assessed, bringing federal accountability determinations more in line with the existing state accountability philosophy.

Please visit our website to review the plan in part or in full and provide your feedback. The plan’s efficacy depends in large part on reflecting the voices of all Vermonters. The public comment window closes on February 11, 2017.

If you have questions or would like more information, please contact Patrick Halladay (patrick.halladay@vermont.gov; 802-479-1712) or Chris Case (chris.case@vermont.gov; 802-479-1179).
