Vermont expands vocational center plans beyond union district
Harold Graeme of Vermont's vocational education division says a regional area vocational center could serve juniors and seniors plus some sophomore exploratory courses. It may extend to Bennington County and beyond with costs split between state and federal funds under a new Vocational Education Act. The plan does not affect the union high school schedule and emphasizes integration of vocational training with academics.
