Information in this section:
I n Vermont,
schools are at the core of what brings our
communities together. Vermonters understand the importance of giving our
children a quality education and they understand that a child's
education begins well before their first day of school and will continue
long after graduation day.
College tuition and fees have been rising
more rapidly than household income over the past two decades and it is
becoming increasingly difficult for students and their families to afford
these costs.
