Withey to protest Nixon budget cuts in Vermont
Vermont Education Commissioner Robert Withey outlined Nixon administration cuts that would drop 14 professional staff and six clerical workers, end the Youth Corps program, and eliminate funding for libraries, equipment, and remodeling. He warned of a potentially disastrous impact on state education and noted possible effects from proposed special education revenue sharing. In other actions, the state board granted conditional approval for Westminster Community School and deferred a split request from Washington North East Supervisory Union.
