From housing and education costs to strengthening public safety laws, members of Vermont's Republican caucus outlined their priorities on Friday.

Gov. Phil Scott (R-Berlin) flagged the public safety crisis and the rise in repeat offenders as one of his main priorities to tackle this session.

Phil Scott's team revealed their plan to change education funding in Vermont. Scott's plan will eliminate supervisory unions in the state and create five school districts across Vermont. Each will have one school board and one superintendent.

We know that the work that we’re describing here is going to be really challenging,” Zoie Saunders, Vermont’s secretary of education, told lawmakers. “I ask you to join us so we can be bold together.”

The Vermont Supreme Court is hearing arguments Wednesday in a case state lawmakers filed against Gov. Phil Scott and interim Education Secretary Zoie Saunders.

Vermont Governor Phil Scott focused his weekly briefing Tuesday on housing policies he hopes to champion during the legislative session.

Appeals, permitting and Act 250 are just a few of the variables that Gov. Scott says continue to cause a housing shortage in the state.

The Scott administration is proposing a transition to a foundation formula, a commonly used way of paying for schools that would give more power to the state.

The governor’s package of proposed changes would address the detention of repeat offenders and would repeal the remaining stage of Raise the Age.

Part of the governor’s plan to make building housing units in Vermont faster and easier will be making the appeal of housing project permits more difficult.

Gov. Phil Scott is proposing an overhaul in how the state funds public education, which includes a dramatic reduction in the number of school districts.
