An act relating to miscellaneous amendments to education law

This bill proposes amendments to Vermont's education law, primarily affecting how school construction projects are bid and which postsecondary institutions are recognized for federal financial aid purposes. The first major change raises the threshold for high-cost school construction contracts from $500,000 to $2,000,000, requiring school boards to publicly advertise for contractors and establish prequalification criteria before bidding on projects exceeding this amount. The bill also updates the list of accredited postsecondary institutions in Vermont that are exempt from certain state charter requirements, while clarifying that this recognition does not affect their existing charters. Additionally, the legislation adjusts the effective date for a previous Holocaust education data collection requirement to July 1, 2025.
