AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoEducation reform wrap-up: Vermont lawmakers adjourned after nearly two weeks of overtime, landing a compromise education package that keeps school district mergers voluntary, expands regional resource-sharing, and sets new funding rules—while Gov. Phil Scott and House Speaker Jill Krowinski both signaled the political stakes are far from over. Leadership shake-up: Scott says he’ll run for a sixth term, while Krowinski won’t seek reelection—raising questions about who will lead the House and Senate next. Child care pressure: New research from UVM and partners finds intensified ICE activity reshaped the childcare workforce, shrinking capacity and hitting immigrant women hardest—an issue that lands squarely on Vermont families already squeezed by costs. Nursing and mental health wins: Rutland Regional Medical Center earned Magnet designation again, and Brattleboro Retreat’s doctoral psychology internship was reaccredited through 2035. Culture on the calendar: Burlington’s Discover Jazz Festival returns June 3–7 with mostly free shows curated by Jason Moran. Community outdoors: Vermont’s Summer Free Fishing Day is June 13, with a family festival in Grand Isle. Local arts: Lawrence’s public art exhibition spotlights World Cup-themed works with walking tours and an app for viewing.
