Senator Steps In to Guide School Board | Burlington News
Description
Vermont State Senator Thomas Chittenden is stepping in temporarily to fill a vacant South Burlington School Board seat, offering stability and firsthand insight into the state’s new education law, Act 170 — all while keeping residents’ property tax concerns front and center. His appointment, made after the previous board member resigned over a contentious teacher neutrality policy, marks his first time on the board — and he’s clear he won’t seek the full term. Chittenden, a local graduate and parent, is the only person who applied for the role, underscoring his commitment to community service. He aims to help the board navigate these turbulent changes smoothly until the March elections, when residents can run for the full two-year term.
