Vermont H0495 proposes to require the consideration of existing regional configurations, including counties and superintendent regions, when drawing consolidated school district boundaries. The bill aims to encourage the creation of community schools, climate resiliency, targeted population growth, and workforce development within a consolidated school governance system. It also seeks to define which decisions within a school district shall be a function of local control and which shall be made at a higher State level.
