Kay Freedy, a Hazen Union teacher and Danville School Board member, spoke as did Lisa McCarthy, principal of Craftsbury Schools, offering her testimony from the perspective of a school leader in the Northeast Kingdom.

Both voices add to the conversation around Act 73 as Vermont works to educate and care for its children, and legislators grapple with the urgent questions before them.

Listen to those, and other, testimony from Northeast Kingdom educators and students, whose lived experiences add critical depth to the discussion. Freedy’s testimony begins at 1:40, followed by McCarthy’s at 7:22. Access the testimonies at youtube.com/live/Qr_3F59pdEE
