I am proud of our work this session to correct the per pupil weights in our education funding system to better support #Winooski students, teachers, and staff — and look forward to our continued work in improving equitable supports and outcomes for all of VTs students. #VTPoli
Thank you, @GovPhilScott! vtdigger.org/2022/05/23/gov-…

URGENT! Please call @GovPhilScott at 802-828-3333 and ask him to sign S.287! Without this critical legislation enacted, low income and rural districts as well as small schools and English language learners will continue to be underfunded. #vtpoli #vted #equity #FixTheFormula
Thank you to the VT Legislature for passing S.287, the equitable ed funding bill!! @GovPhilScott: VT’s low-income, rural students and English language learners are counting on you to sign this bill! 25 years of inequity is long enough. #vtpoli #vted

A little late to the party, but celebrating nonetheless. Thank you for the hard, dedicated work in the details to make #VTed a bit more equitable! #vtpoli #justice
The VT House has given final approval to the equitable ed funding bill, 132-11! 🎉 We are so grateful to Speaker Krowinski @SKrowinski and Rep. Kornheiser @ekkornheiser for working tirelessly to shepherd this bill through the house with so much support. #vtpoli #vted #Equity

The VT House just gave preliminary approval to S.287, the equitable ed funding bill. One more vote tomorrow before it’s back to the Senate. Thank you to everyone for your support! #vtpoli #vted #FixTheFormula #Equity4Life

House Committee Advances Education Funding Plan Favored by Burlington, Winooski 7dvt.co/3k17Bha
Thank you to Rep. @ekkornheiser for getting S.287, the equitable ed funding bill, out of the House Ways and Means Committee 11-0 today! We feel it’s critical not to change up systems and to instead correct the one we have. Thank you for hearing us. #vtpoli #vted #equity

Have you also had to plead with politicos every year not to cut a critical grant program (small schools)? Cost equity will put poor districts, EL districts, rural districts in that position every year. It politicizes student learning differences. – at Vermont, USA

The Coalition for Vermont Student Equity called on the House Ways and Means Committee to reject sweeping changes under consideration for S.287, the Senate’s proposed education funding equity bill. #vtpoli #vted

If you believe equity > so-called simplicity (esp when people on the ground are crying foul) please contact your House Reps TODAY and tell them to correct the pupil weights. NO fixed payments, we want equity IN the formula. #vtpoli #vted #equity #FixTheFormula @WinooskiLearns
Equity > simplicity. House plan is being heralded as simple to understand. Yet the folks on the ground (VSBA, VSA, VLCT, our coalition) are NOT okay with this new, unvetted plan. The pupil weights ARE vetted. They just need to be updated.

⚖️Thank you to the Burlington and Winooski delegations for standing up for the most equitable solution to VT’s inequitable ed funding system. #Vtpoli #Vted #FixTheFormula #Equity Many others who didn’t have the opportunity to sign on have also been working hard to pass S.287 ⚖️
Thank you to all our fierce advocates and legislators who joined together today to ask the House to correct the pupil weights, as recommended by the Senate, for low-income, rural, ELL and small schools. We are all in this together. #vtpoli #vted #equity #FixTheFormula

The VT House is considering a proposal to fund English Language Learning programs with grants. This will restrict our district’s education spending and negatively impact our students. Regardless of intent, @SKrowinski this is unacceptable. #Vtpoli #Vted #Equity #FixTheFormula
The Vermont Senate trusts our communities. Why doesn’t the Vermont House? #vtpoli
Low-income districts are perfectly capable of educating our children. We just haven’t been given the adequate resources to do so. The VT House is trying to circumvent our communities while our wealthy neighbors are trusted to educate their children. #vtpoli
