Senate Education, 2/10/26:  House Education First Draft of Maps

Thank you for the opportunity to testify on the initial map draft presented by House Education Chair, Peter Conlon, last week. I want to first of all, thank Representative Conlon for putting out a thoughtful map for his committee (and obviously many other Vermonters including Senate Education) to consider. It is hard to tell where we are going to end up in terms of governance constructs related to Act 73; and, I’ve heard many times, including from members of this committee, that maps have to come before other aspects of the transformational change. Although I am not sure that is necessarily the case, having a map to react to certainly is a place to start. (Full Written Testimony)
