The legislative task force established to proposed changes in the stateâs per-pupil weighting factors for K-12 education funding set its agenda on Tuesday, naming state Rep. Emilie Kornheiser of Brattleboro as a co-chair and setting an aggressive agenda for addressing the complex issues surrounding education finance in Vermont. The committee was formed to draft legislation for implementing new per-pupil weighting factors generated in a 2019 University of Vermont study. The study found that the per-pupil weights used by the state â a means of addressing the inequity in the stateâs school funding formula employed in the wake of the Brigham decision â werenât based on empirical data, and had perpetuated rather than addressed funding inequity.
