A Vermont discussion urges restructuring the school year from 9 months to an 11 month four quarter system.

The editors hail Madeline Harwood and T Garry Buckley as top GOP nominees in Montpelier contests and praise Harvey Carter and Leon Wagner for district efforts. They salute incumbent Sal Santarcangelo, David Allen, Ira Whitney, Robert Graf, James Lounsbury, and Joe Caracciola, urging continued public service and future candidacies.
