Vermont's Act 73 of 2025 and school redistricting
- Vermont School District Redistricting Task Force
Pursuant to H.454 (Act 73), the School District Redistricting Task Force was created to recommend new school district boundaries and configurations to the General Assembly.- Vermont School District Builder software
This online software can be used to envision and create a statewide or more localized school district consolidation map.
This link takes you to a statewide district merger map I developed as an example of how this software can be used. This map has 11 districts that take into account clusters of high schools, Vermont's topography, and population centers. High school clusters mean building can be closed, and population centers leave the possibility of new centralized buildings being opened. Elementary schools are intended to remain as local as humanly possible.
Note the "Show Schools" button on the lower left of the map. Enabling this option will help make sense of the map.
A primary directive for me in creating this map was to make physical access to education a meaningful statement. A student who lives next door to a large, centralized high school has much greater access to the school's offerings then a student dependent upon a two hour bus ride or the availability of an automobile. - School Drive Time Explorer
