House Education reviews draft pre-K language that would require licensed teachers and regional planning The House Education Committee reviewed language from the House Human Services Committee that would add a legislative-intent clause, require licensed/endorsed teachers for publicly funded pre-K, mandate regional capacity planning if providers are insufficient, and require state studies on funding and readiness tied to the foundation-formula timeline.

Vermont's House Education Committee is reevaluating pre-K education, pushing for licensed teachers and regional planning to ensure every child gets the quality education they deserve!

Testimony from Community College of Vermont emphasized training pathways and prior-learning credit; the Vermont Chamber warned of labor-market risks; the Vermont AEYC urged passage citing workforce-designed reforms.
