Our Public Policy Work
The VSBA represents our membership through our work in the General Assembly and through public policy development with the Agency of Education, the State Board of Education and other partner education organizations.
The Vermont General Assembly typically meets annually from the first week of January until May or early June, depending on the demands of the legislative session. The VSBA engages with the General Assembly on issues affecting education.
NEW for 2021:
During the Legislative Session, VSBA will provide regular updates through:
