Education Op/Ed

Letter to the editor: Harlin would support small schools

It is disheartening to witness the push for consolidation of schools just as the larger schools are struggling with behavioral issues and teacher retention. It reminds me of the time that Porter Hospital hired a CEO from another state who came with a standard blueprint for how a hospital system should be managed. It all went wrong, the nursing union sounded the alarm, and the greater community came to the rescue. We need to do this again for our children and our small towns. Vermont is unique.

If you agree with me, vote for Wendy Harlin for Addison-2. Check out her website to explore where she stands on other issues: wendyharlin.com.
