The administration has proposed a mix of painful budget cuts, and some new revenue, to close Vermont’s $112 million current services budget gap. Unfortunately, the governor’s budget “balance” between new revenue and devastating cuts is heavily skewed toward the latter, with less than $30 million in new revenue being dedicated to funding current services budget gaps.
Community High School of Vermont educators are at the State House today to testify in front the House Education Committee. They will be continuing to make the educators’ case not to severely cut the program’s funding, while also urging lawmakers to to help them ensure the program is being fully utilized.
VSEA members are urged to call the Sergeant At Arms (802-828-2228) today and deliver this simple message to members of the House Education Committee (listed here): “I am a state employee. No cuts to the Community High School of Vermont. Thank you.”

The ask is simple. On March 6, please call the Governor’s office at 802-828-3333 and the Sergeant at Arms at 802-828-2228 to leave a message for your local lawmakers, both House and Senate. Let these folks know we MUST continue to serve our veterans by keeping the Vermont Veterans Home open!
