An act relating to next steps in transforming Vermont’s education system
House message: Governor approved bill on June 18, 2026
Summary
The bill reorganizes Vermont’s school‑service structure by forming up to seven regional cooperative educational service areas (CESAs) and assigning each supervisory union to one. It mandates that every school district join a study committee to evaluate merging into a unified union school district, and directs the Joint Fiscal Office to hire a contractor to advise on how pre‑kindergarten programs should be accounted for in the state education finance formula. The changes aim to improve cost‑effectiveness, equity, and early‑education access across the state.
