Lawsuit Alleges Unequal Access to Education in Vermont

A new lawsuit has been brought against the state of Vermont over where children attend school, reports WCAX.

According to the report, attorneys from the Liberty Justice Center filed the suit, alleging that there is unequal access to education in the state. Reportedly, many VT communities allocate public funds to go towards K-12 education. Some of these towns have their own schools to send students to, but some do not.

The lawsuit states that all VT children should be eligible for public school choice, while not being required to have to go to the school in their town or city, and still have the education paid for.

Families being represented in the lawsuit state that the schools where they live do not meet their students’ needs.
