VermontBiz The Vermont Agency of Education announced the next phase of its 2024 Listen and Learn Tour and invites the public to participate in community conversations focused on key topics in education. These public engagement sessions will help the Agency develop its strategic plan and ensure that its work is supporting the educational priorities of communities across Vermont. Following a series of data reports and regional planning sessions with more than 250 education leaders, the Agency is eager to expand these conversations to include educators, parents, students, and community members across the state.
