Capitol Recap: Phil Scott hints at major education reform proposal


Gov. Phil Scott delivered his fifth inaugural address after a sweeping change election where legislative Democrats were ousted and Scott was reelected by a wide margin. In his speech, Scott framed the election results as a mandate from voters and hinted at big plans for Vermont schools. Vermont Public’s education reporter, Lola Duffort, discussed the implications of the governor’s address for education reform in Montpelier on the Capitol Recap. Scott expressed his intention to take leadership on education, including proposing a simplified governance structure that would reduce the number of school boards. He also suggested a shift towards a foundation formula for education funding, which would involve the state determining how much school districts should spend and providing them with grant funding. Democratic leaders responded positively to Scott’s proposals, indicating a willingness to explore a foundation formula. However, there is expected to be pushback and debate about the constitutionality and details of the proposed changes. Scott is set to unveil more details about his plans in about two weeks when he releases his state budget proposal. The outcome of these proposed changes in education funding will depend on the discussions and negotiations that will follow in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
