Bill > H0886

This bill proposes to create a "cost of competing adjustment" within Vermont's education funding system, which is the framework for how public schools are financed. This adjustment is intended to address the fact that the cost of hiring and retaining staff, particularly teachers and other school employees, can vary significantly depending on where a school district is located within the state. By accounting for these differences in labor costs, the bill aims to ensure that school districts in areas with higher living expenses can still attract and keep qualified personnel, thereby promoting more equitable educational opportunities across Vermont.
