MONTPELIER - Gov. Phil Scott announced Wednesday that he is seeking applications to fill two openings on the State Board of Education.

“The State Board of Education plays an important role in our education system,” Scott said. “I’m seeking to appoint individuals who are committed to enhancing the quality of education for our kids and ensuring students in all corners of Vermont have an equal opportunity to succeed.”

The board establishes, evaluates and oversees public education policy. Duties include making regulations governing attendance and records of attendance of all pupils, standards for student performance, adult basic education programs, approval of independent schools, disbursement of funds, and equal access for all Vermont students to a quality education.

New members will be appointed to six-year terms beginning in March.
