MONTPELIER – The Redistricting Task Force had its second meeting last week. A rubric was developed to evaluate map proposals and I will be working on a map with Dave Wolk (Governor’s Appointment) that is based off of existing Career and Technical Education centers CTE).
The co-chairs are attempting to uncover vast amounts of data to inform decisions, much of which the administration does not believe is relevant to this conversation. I agree with the administration’s perspective and am worried that we may just enter paralysis by analysis. It seems to me that local districts already understand the data and can evaluate it in a local context.
I made the point that buy-in is more important than data at this point. The co-chairs do not agree.
I’ll provide updates after each meeting, the next is Sept. 10.
