Episode Details

Vermont just snagged federal approval for a major education funding waiver that could slash red tape and give the state more control over how $4 million in federal dollars are spent through 2029. Instead of managing multiple funding streams, Vermont can now pool resources to tackle priorities like literacy, student attendance, and engagement—while teachers unions cautiously support the move, stressing the need to protect local funding and guard against past federal cuts. Vermont joins Iowa, Louisiana, and Indiana as the fourth state to receive this waiver, signaling a growing national trend toward state-led education funding flexibility.
