Rule Details
Rule Number:
23P022
Title:
Education Quality Standards (Rule Series 2000).
Type:
Standard
Status:
Adopted
Agency:
Board of Education
Legal Authority:
16 V.S.A. §§ 164, and 165; Act No. 1 of 2019 § 1.
Summary:
The proposed amendments to Rule Series 2000 -- Education Quality Standards (EQS) are designed to implement 2019 Act No. 1 ("An act relating to ethnic and social equity studies standards for public schools"), consistent with the legislative intent of both the Act and 16 V.S.A section 165 (the statute mandating EQS). The amended rule series is intended to ensure that students in Vermont public schools (and independent schools seeking designation as an independent school meeting EQS under 16 V.S.A. section 165(f)) are afforded opportunities that are substantially equal in quality and are equitable, anti-racist, culturally responsive, anti-discriminatory, and inclusive. The amended rule series enhances the curriculum, provides for a culturally responsive pedagogy, and prohibits discrimination against any student pursuing an education or participating in the life or activities of a school based on a number of protected classifications.
Persons Affected:
The Vermont Agency of Education; Vermont State Board of Education; Vermont Supervisory unions and supervisory districts; Public schools in Vermont; Vermont independent schools seeking designation as an independent school meeting EQS; As to the above institutions: their boards, administrators, teachers, support staff, students, the broader school communities; Vermont School Boards Association; Vermont Superintendents Association; Vermont Principals Association; Vermont-NE
Economic Impact:
The proposed rule series amends current Education Quality Standards to comply with the statutory intent of Act 1. As a result, to the extent a school district or supervisory union/supervisory district might be required to alter its expenditures to align with the amended EQS, these are more likely to be a redirection of financial resources (e.g., replacement of academic materials, alignment of professional development). The State Board of Education anticipates that the economic impact of the proposed rules themselves will be minimal. The greatest cost will likely be the intentional investment of time and resources to support educators in implementing these amended Education Quality Standards.
