Tuition rise at St Francis Xavier School prompts transfers
In Winooski, tuition at St Francis Xavier School will rise next September from 1 per child per month to 30 per family within the parish and 40 annually for non parish families. Officials say the increase helps cover rising education costs and may push some students to public schools amid overcrowding. Memorial Elementary and Winooski High anticipate enrolment strains as districts face space shortages. In Montpelier, Vermont interstate progress lags national pace, with 16 percent completion of allocated miles and total highway spending at 75.6 million dollars since 1956. Also in Montpelier, John Kristensen calls trimming district superintendents from 54 to about 11. Brattleboro names Reginald Belville police chief on a one year probation. In St Albans Bay, a father and son receive 60 day jail terms for larceny with suspended sentences and probation.
