Vermont school panel weighs Social Security for teachers
The school board, with Sleeman and John P. Riddle among members, rejected a Social Security plan for teachers on a 3 2 vote, saying the measure is temporary and will be revisited in January after financial data and state aid considerations. Heath noted most teachers favor coverage, cost per teacher is 174 dollars annually, and 66 surveys returned showed 50 in favor, 6 likely, 10 unsure. Additional actions included overtime rules for custodians who drive buses, leave approvals, and status reports on school wiring and education task force notes.

Town faces big rise in property assessments under new plan
Sisters propose updating town valuations from 1940 to 1963 schedules using a 250 percent cost factor to arrive at current market values. Grand List would use 25 percent of those values, with larger effects on properties still taxed on the 1940 base. Selectmen foresee a higher Grand List but possibly a lower tax rate if 1964 budget remains similar.
