It has been a century since Vermont redistricted schools into our present configuration. In fact, the state used to have more than 2,700 school districts prior to reorganizing into a structure very similar to what we currently have.
I am not familiar with all of the history surrounding this long-distant reorganization. It was likely very contentious; change is always hard.
Act 46 attempts to reorganize Vermont's existing 267 districts into something more efficient and better suited to produce better results at a price taxpayers can afford in the 21st century.
But what that “something” is is anyone's guess due to the local decision-making process underway throughout Vermont.
