Fewer Vermont school districts could curb disparities
Vermont officials released a study showing that consolidating 238 current districts into fewer larger units would reduce wealth disparities in per pupil education. The index of district wealth ranged from 64 to 1590, with the richest district nearly 25 times wealthier than the poorest. Larger districts showed a narrower 1.4 to 1 wealth gap, suggesting consolidation would promote equalized school funding.
