An act relating to the creation of the Statewide Supervisory Union Study Committee

This bill establishes the Statewide Supervisory Union Study Committee to examine the feasibility and impact of creating a statewide supervisory union in Vermont. The committee will include representatives from the Secretary of Education, the State Board of Education, and major education associations representing teachers, school boards, principals, and superintendents. Its primary task is to study whether a statewide union would improve school district flexibility, reduce the number of superintendents needed, support shared data systems, and determine how districts would contract for services. The committee must submit its findings and recommendations by January 14, 2024, and will dissolve shortly after submitting its report.
