Declining
enrollments and state cost-control laws are prompting school districts around
Vermont to contemplate what some are calling dramatic budget cuts, with staff
reductions and program eliminations announced or under review.
In
Town Meeting news, voters in Brandon and five other nearby towns will decide
whether to approve a bond of just under two million dollars to make repairs at Otter Valley Union High
School.
As
VPR’s Nina Keck reports – a much larger bond for the school was voted down twice
last year.
