§ 1621 - Purpose - Vermont Statutes

§ 1621. Purpose

The purpose of the act is to establish public high school choice as a way to expand educational opportunities for students while continuing to improve public schools through education reform and maintaining the quality of educational services. It is also the purpose of this act to establish school choice in a way that enables school districts to craft a system that works best for their communities. Therefore, it is the intent of the general assembly that each participating school district shall determine a way to provide choice to its students, and that the department of education and the general assembly shall carefully monitor the outcomes for students, parents and schools in order to gather information that may facilitate increased public school choice in the future.
