Legislative Forum on Education
Calling all Hartford Community Members!
The Hartford School District will be hosting a public forum with several local legislators and AOE leadership to discuss pressing issues that the legislature is working on as the legislative session comes to a close.
Please join your local legislators and AOE and school leaders to engage in a conversation on the issues that are directly impacting our schools and community: class size mandates, consolidation, PCB mitigation, and school funding, to name a few topics of great importance.
The event will be held on Monday, May 5, 2025, at 6:00 PM, and it will be hosted in the auditorium at Hartford High School. Those who wish to listen in online may do so by accessing this YouTube live link (https://www.youtube.com/@junctionartsandmedia) or the Zoom link used for our School Board meetings (https://zoom.us/j/97430755984; Meeting ID = 974 3075 5984).
The legislators will discuss the significant changes being proposed with regard to education reform in Vermont, as well as share any related efforts that are being made at the state level to address some of the Hartford School District's unique challenges and needs, including building infrastructure related to PCB remediation and abatement in our District.
We are looking forward to hearing from our legislators and invite you all to share at this public forum any concerns, comments, questions, and support you may wish to provide as the legislative session concludes.
We are tremendously grateful to our local Senators and Representatives as well as the Agency of Education for their participation and the opportunity to meet with them.
Please join us!
