Every year, voters elect one or more school directors to serve as trustees on their behalf. It is a great responsibility to serve. Boards ensure achievement for all students in their district, while assuring voters they receive an excellent return on their investment. What we don't hear enough about are the rewards of school board service in Vermont. There are many and some may even surprise you.
— As a board member, it's possible to make a real and indelible impact for students in a small state where public education is so localized.
— Your decisions can positively impact the lives of students and their parents, the livelihoods of those whom the district employs and the economic well-being of the community.
— You will gain a depth and breadth of knowledge about our greatest public good and equalizer in society — education.
These are exciting and challenging times in education in Vermont. Consider serving on behalf or our students and school community, and make a difference to the future of Vermont.
