Vermont Education Association urges hearing for Seaver
Burlington UPD The Vermont Education Association advisory board recommended a Montpelier School Board hearing for Edward Ted Seaver after his testimony. The seven member panel noted Seaver must request in writing by May 14 for validity. Seaver’s contract was not renewed for next year citing attitudes unbecoming a teacher. He says the dismissal is for civil rights work while he prepares to lead the Vermont in Mississippi Project. The board based its opinion on state practice that a hearing occurs when a contract is not renewed, though the school board would not be required to grant one.
