Gibboney Assailed Over Prospect School Controversy
Bennington’s superintendent charges Vermont’s education chief tried to “steal” Prospect School’s成果 funding and ideas, offering teacher Marian Stroud a $10,000 Montpelier post while Bennington fears losing leadership in bringing Prospect School methods to local classrooms. He warns Stroud’s departure could derail plans to adapt the experimental approach and expand teacher training, proposing in next year’s budget to hire Stroud-like staff at about $8,000 and embed Prospect techniques in four elementary rooms.
