VEA probe may trigger NEA oversight in Vermont district
The VEA investigation deadline is April 6 for responses to be included in a final report. At a Friday meeting several BSD directors had not yet received copies, including Mt. Anthony chair Raymond C. Murray. The report reportedly contemplates a potential NEA team review of the school system, a step seen as controversial by some directors. The Southwest Vermont Education Association had requested the probe, which examined teacher turnover, budgeting, administration, and contract grievances.
