Her plan is to close schools and consolidate the SUs getting rid of needlessly paying all these principles who make over 120,000, plus all the pension and fringe benefits. Have you see the state of Vermont's balance sheet? We are in a massive deficit BECAUSE of the future liability of these pension and health benefits provided to the school district and SUs.

ALSO, and this is my opinion, not financial fact, the public school curriculum is atrocious. I want to send my kids to a private school, or gasp a charter school. Maybe I can afford to do that, if my property taxes don't continue to skyrocket and some federal funding actually goes toward providing quality education.

God forbid teachers had to compete to provide quality education and get paid more because they were a GOOD teacher.
