Nondiscrimination & the Role of independent Schools in Vermont
VISA stands against discrimination against students, faculty and staff in all schools.
VISA supports the nondiscrimination policy in bill S.219 passed by the Vermont Senate in the 2022 legislative session and will continue to support that bill's goals.
VISA supports Vermont's current educational system and the mosaic of educational opportunities independent schools offer to Vermont students.
Independent schools have a long-standing and important role in Vermont’s educational landscape. That role includes providing education to students from districts without full preK-12 public school grade coverage, therapeutic special education schools and schools that provide unique educational opportunities to Vermont students.
VISA opposes initial approval or approval renewal for any independent school unwilling to affirm it will comply with the nondiscrimination requirements in the Vermont Public Accommodations Act and in State Board of Education rules for independent schools.
