Vermont H0180 establishes a process for school districts to close elementary schools, including public notice, a report, and community input.

Vermont H0180 mandates a detailed process for school districts considering the closure of an elementary school. This process includes providing public notice at least nine months in advance, publishing a comprehensive report within 90 days before the decision, and offering an opportunity for community input. The report must analyze educational and financial impacts, including student outcomes, potential savings, and alternative options. The decision to close the school can be appealed to the Washington County Superior Court.
