EdWatch Vermont is a nonprofit organization advocating for education independence, accountable spending, and student-centered education policy in the Green Mountain State, serving as a voice for Vermonters who feel unheard on education issues.

Vermont’s Education Crossroads:

Centralization. Consolidation. Loss of Voice. Vermont’s education system is becoming more centralized and more corporate in structure. Voters have less control. Families have less voice. Taxpayers are told to simply pay more.

Instead of continuing down this path, Vermont should consider a true ground-up redesign — one that preserves small public and independent schools, expands educational freedom to every student, and restores real accountability.

The same teachers. The same school buildings. The same students. But organized around a truly Student Centered Education system, with costs controlled responsibly at the state level — not through forced consolidation, but through structural reform.
