Universal Citation: VT Code of Rules 22 000 037
Current through February, 2024
Rule No.3410 Definitions
For all State Board of Education rules relating to Alternative Structures, the term:
3410.1 "Act 46" means 2015 Acts and Resolves
No. 46. "Act 153" means 2010 Acts and Resolves No. 153, as amended. "Act 156"
means 2012 Acts and Resolves No 156, as amended. "Act 49" means 2017 Acts and
Resolves No. 49 (H.513).
3410.2
"Alternative Structure" is defined by Act 46, Sec. 5(c) as a supervisory union
"composed of multiple member districts, each with its separate school board."
Act 46, Sec. 10(a)(a)(2) contemplates that an Alternative Structure could be
different from a Preferred Structure in some other way, "such as. a unified
union school district with [an] average daily membership" of less than 900
(which would probably be a member district of a larger supervisory union due to
its small size).
3410.3 "ADM" has
the same meaning as set forth for "average daily membership" in
16 VSA §
4001(1).
3410.4 "Goals" means the five statewide
education goals identified in Sec. 2 of Act 46 that are the foundation of the
legislation's governance provisions: "to encourage and support local decisions
and actions that:
(1) provide substantial
equity in the quality and variety of educational opportunities
statewide;
(2) lead students to
achieve or exceed the State's Education Quality Standards, adopted as rules by
the State Board of Education at the direction of the General
Assembly;
(3) maximize operational
efficiencies through increased flexibility to manage, share, and transfer
resources, with a goal of increasing the district-level ratio of students to
full-time equivalent staff;
(4)
promote transparency and accountability; and
(5) are delivered at a cost that parents,
voters, and taxpayers value."
3410.5 "Preferred Structure" as defined in
Act 46, Sec. 5(b) means a school district that is responsible for the education
of its resident students in prekindergarten through grade 12, is its own
supervisory district ( i.e., a single-district supervisory union) ( "SD"), has
an ADM of at least 900 students, and is organized and operates according to one
of the four most common structures as follows:
"
(A) a district that operates a school or schools for
all resident students in prekindergarten or kindergarten through grade
12;
(B) a district that operates a
school or schools for all resident students in prekindergarten or kindergarten
through grade 8 and pays tuition for all resident students in grade 9 through
grade 12;
(C) a district that
operates a school or schools for all resident students in prekindergarten or
kindergarten through grade 6 and pays tuition for all resident students in
grade 7 through grade 12; or
(D) a
district that operates no schools and pays tuition for all resident students in
prekindergarten through grade 12."
3410.6 "Region" is not defined by current
supervisory union boundaries, but nevertheless should be identified based on a
common-sense view of districts in and outside the current supervisory union.
Act 46, Sec. 9(a)(2) (Remaining Districts must "meet with the boards of one or
more other districts. to discuss ways to promote improvement throughout the
region. The districts do not need to be contiguous and do not need to be within
the same supervisory union.")
3410.7 "Remaining District(s)" means a school
district (or group of districts) that is subject to Act 46, Sec. 9 because it
will not be in a Preferred Structure ( i.e., operating as its own SD with an
ADM of at least 900) by July 1, 2019.
3410.8 "Statewide Plan" means the, statewide
education governance plan that Act 46 requires the Secretary of Education to
develop and issue as a proposal and the State Board of Education to issue in
final, mandatory form pursuant to Secs. 8-10, and all incorporated
sections.
3410.9 "Unified Union
School District" or "UUSD" has the same meaning as in
16 V.S.A. §
722: a union school district that "provides
for the education of resident prekindergarten-grade 12 students" by operating a
school or schools for all grades, operating some grades and paying tuition for
others, or paying tuition for all grades.
Rule No.3420 Statement of Purpose
Act 46 recognizes the possibility of Alternative Structures and incorporates into its overall design the ability for districts to create a new Alternative Structure through voluntary merger under Act 153 or Act 156. Act 46 also includes some requirements and guidance for Alternative Structure proposals submitted under Sec. 9 by districts that will not be merging. This guidance, however, lacks the specificity available for voluntary mergers, which are governed by a decades-old statutory process and by additional, explicit criteria in Act 46, Act 153, and Act 156, and Act 49.
These rules are intended to provide (1) a process by which school districts can propose to be in an Alternative Structure when the proposal does not include voluntary merger and (2) details about some of the supporting information that a district should consider when self-evaluating for purposes of presenting a proposal to merge or a proposal under Act 46, Sec. 9 and that the State Board considers when reviewing mergers proposals and will be considering when reviewing proposals under Sec. 9 and creating the Statewide Plan.
Rule No.3421 Statutory Authority
16 V.S.A. § 164; Act 46 of 2015; 16 V.S.A. § 261
Rule No.3422 Scope of Rules
3422.1 Unified Union School District Exempt
from Statewide Plan Pursuant to Act 46, Sec. 10(c)(3), a Unified Union School
District created under Acts 153, 156, or 46 is exempt from the Statewide Plan.
3422.1.1 If that UUSD is a member district of
a multi-district supervisory union, then:
(1)
it is subject to Act 46, Sec. 9 because it is not a Preferred Structure;
and
(2) it has complied with Act
46, Sec. 9 by submitting its proposal to the State Board pursuant to
16
V.S.A. §
706c and shall not be subject
to the provisions of these rules.
3422.2 Modified Unified Union School District
A Modified UUSD created under Act 156 is a Unified Union School District for
those towns that approved the proposal.
3422.2.1 A Modified UUSD is a member of a
multi-district supervisory union and is within the scope of Rules 3422.1 and
3422.1.1.
3422.2.2 An elementary
school district that is a member of the Modified UUSD for fewer than all grades
PK-12 is not a member of a Unified Union School District, is not exempt from
the Statewide Plan, and is subject to the provisions of these rules.
Rule No.3430 Proposals for UUSDs & Proposals for Alternative Structures under Act 46, Sec. 9
3430.1 Act 46 identifies the five Goals as
the foundation of voluntary mergers, proposals made under Sec. 9, and the
Statewide Plan.
3430.2 Act 46, Sec.
5(c) recognizes that what the Legislature identified as the Preferred Structure
may not be "possible or the best model" to achieve the Goals throughout the
State.
3430.2.1 In these situations, Act 46,
Sec. 5(c) states that an Alternative Structure can meet the Goals,
"particularly if" the supervisory union manifests specific characteristics,
including having "the smallest number of member school districts
practicable."
3430.2.2 A
supervisory union with "the smallest number of member school districts
practicable" means that, to the full extent current governance structures
permit, districts merge into (i) a UUSD, (ii) a union elementary school
district, or (iii) a union high school district.
3430.3 A proposal to merge voluntarily into a
UUSD or Modified UUSD under Acts 153, 156, or 46 is developed, submitted, and
considered under the process set forth in 16 V.S.A. chapter 11.
3430.4 Act 46, Sec. 9(a)(1)-(3), as amended
by Act 49, requires the school board of each Remaining District to develop and
submit a proposal, individually or jointly with other districts, to be in an
Alternative Structure. Each board must submit the proposal by the earlier of
January 31, 2018 or six months after these rules become effective.
3430.4.1 Act 46, Sec. 8 and 10 indicate that
the proposal is considered in connection with development of the Statewide
Plan.
3430.5 Regardless
of whether it submits a proposal to merge under 16 V.S.A. chapter 11 or a
proposal under Act 46, Sec. 9, each district conducts a rigorous
self-examination of its current ability to meet or exceed the Act 46 Goals and
each considers the opportunities that can arise from regional cooperation. See,
e.g., 16 V.S.A. SS 706b and 706c(b); Act 46, Secs. 6, 7, and 9; Act 153; Act
156
Rule No.3440 Proposing an Alternative Structure under Act 46, Sec. 9
3440.1 By the earlier of January 31, 2018 or
six months after these rules become effective, Act 46, Sec. 9(a)(1)-(3)
requires that the school board of each Remaining District shall:
(1) "evaluate its current ability to meet or
exceed each of the" Goals;
(2)
"meet with the boards of one or more other districts. to discuss ways to
promote improvement throughout the region in connection with the" Goals;
and
(3) Submit, individually or
jointly with boards of other districts, "a proposal to the Secretary of
Education and the State Board [that] proposes to retain its current governance
structure, to work with other districts to form a different governance
structure, or to enter into another model of joint activity."
3440.1.1 Act 46, Sec. 9(a)(2)(B) states that
the "districts do not need to be contiguous and do not need to be within the
same supervisory union."
3440.1.2
Act 46, Sec. 9(a)(3) states that each proposal shall:
(1) "demonstrate[] through reference to
enrollment projections, student-to-staff ratios, the comprehensive data
collected pursuant to
16
V.S.A. §
165, and otherwise, how the
proposal. supports the district's or districts' ability to meet or exceed each
of the" Goals; and
(2) "identif[y]
detailed actions it proposes to take to continue to improve its performance in
connection with each of the" Goals.
3440.1.3 Act 46, Sec. 9 requires a Remaining
District's school board to perform these three tasks, but some or all of the
information-gathering and analysis may be conducted by a study committee that
is formed pursuant to 16 V.S.A. chapter 11 to consider creation of a union
school district under that chapter.
3440.2 School board(s) shall submit the
proposal, together with all supporting data and documentation, by first class
mail addressed to the Secretary of Education.
3440.2.1 The school board(s) may also
electronically submit a copy of all materials to the Secretary's e-mail
address.
3440.3 Before
June 1, 2018, pursuant to Act 46, Sec. 10(a)(1), the Secretary shall:
(1) "consider[]" each proposal submitted
under Sec. 9 in connection with his or her development of the proposed
Statewide Plan;
(2) have
"conversations" with the districts that submitted a proposal under Sec. 9 and
other districts; and
(3) accept
additional data and analysis offered by a district in response to the
Secretary's questions or stated concerns.
3440.3.1 The "conversations" shall be
conducted in a manner to be determined by the Secretary.
3440.4 On or before June 1, 2018, Act 46,
Sec. 10(a)(2) requires the Secretary to publish on the Agency's website and
present to the State Board a proposed Statewide Plan.
3440.5 Between June 1, 2018 and November 30,
2018, pursuant to Act 46, Sec. 10(b), the State Board:
(1) Shall "review and analyze" the
Secretary's proposed Statewide Plan; and
(2) May take testimony and/or request
additional information from districts and supervisory unions as the Board
determines to be appropriate or necessary.
3440.6 On or before November 30, 2018,
pursuant to Act 46, Sec. 10(b), the State Board of Education shall "publish.
its order merging and realigning districts and supervisory unions where
necessary" either:
(1) by approving the
Secretary's proposed Statewide Plan in its original form; or
(2) by approving the Secretary's proposed
Statewide Plan in an amended form under the same standards required for the
Secretary's proposal.
3440.7 The purpose of the Statewide Plan is
to "provide educational opportunities through sustainable governance structures
designed to meet the" Goals. Act 46, Sec. 10(a).
3440.8 The Statewide Plan:
(1) Shall include changes to the extent
necessary to meet the Goals.
(2)
Shall include changes to the extent "possible and practicable" in the
Region.
(3) Shall not include a
change that would require a district to alter its current operating or
tuitioning structure.
(4) Shall not
change the governance structure of:
(A) An
Interstate School District.
(B) A
Regional Career Technical Center School District.
(C) A school district that, between June 30,
2013 and July 2, 2019, began (or will begin) to operate as a unified union
school district; and also either:
(i)
voluntarily merged into a Preferred Structure; or
(ii) is a Regional Education District (RED)
or other district eligible to receive RED incentives and protections pursuant
to Act 153 and Act 156.
Act 46, Secs. 8 and 10
3440.8.1 "If it is not possible or
practicable [for the Statewide Plan to merge Remaining Districts, where
necessary, into a Preferred Structure] in a manner that adheres to the.
protection for tuition-paying and operating districts[] or that otherwise meets
all aspects of Sec. 5(b), then the [Plan] may also include alternative
governance structures as necessary, such as a supervisory union with member
districts or a unified union school district with a smaller average daily
membership."
(A) Under this circumstance, the
Statewide Plan may include an Alternative Structure "provided that" the
Alternative Structure is designed:
(i) To
"ensure adherence" to protections for operating and tuition-paying districts.
Only a district, by a vote of its electorate, can decide whether to operate a
school or pay tuition for its students, and at which grade(s).
(ii) To "promote" the Goals.
Act 46, Sec. 10
3440.9 Act 46, Sec. 8(b) states
that the:
"State Board shall approve the creation, expansion, or continuation of a supervisory union only if the Board concludes that this alternative structure:
(1) is the best
means of meeting the [Goals] in a particular region; and
(2) ensures transparency and accountability
for the member districts and the public at large...."
3440.10 When developing the proposed and
final Statewide Plan, the Secretary and State Board may incorporate a proposal
submitted under Act 46, Sec. 9 in its entirety; may incorporate the proposal in
an amended form; or may decline to incorporate any aspect of the proposal. Act
46, Secs. 8 - 10
3440.11 The State
Board evaluates every type of education governance proposal not only on its own
merits, but also on the impact it may have on the students, the districts, the
Region, and the State. See, e.g.,
16
V.S.A. §
706c(b); Act
46, Secs. 8 - 10
3440.12 Act 46
instructs the State Board to "be mindful" of actions that would result in the
geographic isolation of a district from other districts of like structure,
"including the potential isolation of a district with low fiscal capacity or
with a high percentage of students from economically deprived backgrounds." Act
46, Sec. 8
Rule No.3450 Data and Documentation Supporting Proposal
3450.1 A proposal under Act 46, Sec. 9 shall
demonstrate the district's or districts' due diligence and provide sufficient,
thoughtful data and documentation in support of the proposal.
3450.2 A proposal under Act 46, Sec. 9 shall
include a comparison of options considered, including consideration of a
Preferred Structure.
3450.3 A
proposal under Act 46, Sec. 9 should demonstrate on what basis the State Board
would be able to "conclude[] that this alternative structure. is the best means
of meeting the [Goals] in a particular region" as the Board is required to do
pursuant to Sec. 8(b).
3450.4 A
decision not to explore or propose options other than an Alternative Structure
under Act 46, Sec. 9 cannot be justified solely because a district's small size
means that data is not publicly available.
The following, non-exclusive list of information, which is the foundation of a study committee's proposal to create a UUSD, is fundamental to a districts self-evaluation, conversations with other districts, and proposal under Act 46, Sec. 9:
