Gov. Phil Scott on Tuesday signed a landmark education reform bill into law, laying the groundwork for a historic transformation of Vermont鈥檚 public education system.
鈥淲hile this session was long and difficult and uncomfortable for some, we were able to come together and chart a path towards a system that better serves our kids and one that taxpayers can afford,鈥 Scott said, surrounded by top legislative leaders and other dignitaries, before signing the bill.
He noted, however, that the legislation was 鈥渏ust the beginning,鈥 and work to continue public education reform in future legislative sessions 鈥渨ill be just as difficult and just as important as what we did this spring.鈥
