This bill was designed around specifically protecting and not including the four traditional independent schools. It was endorsed by the school boards association, the principal's association, superintendent's association, and the national education association AKA the NEA the largest Union in the state. It's so rare to find an issue but all four of these groups unanimously agree on.

Yeah I don’t want my tax dollars funding this horseshit. Either respect the law or give the money back!

I’m one of the DM’s at the Burlington location, and indeed we do! Saturdays running 2-7 with a $10 entry fee and a free snack.

We are in the last section of the Descent into Avernus campaign, yet anyone is still welcome to stop on by.

Park and ride by a state police station. No thank you.

Pretty bad. I don’t have the energy to go into my specific things, because it’s pretty similar to everyone else here, so I just want to add that everyone I interact with at CVMC treats me like they expect me to start yelling at them. So I think it’s pretty rough for the frontliners too.

Great, thank you.

Yes!

It's not as fast for me as they advertised, but faster than the DSL I had with Consolidated before, and much faster than Xfinity was for me when I tried it. That was a huge disappointment, it was actually slower than my DSL...

Well I’ve just waited two years for my appt to test me for ASD. Multiple hospitals had a year long waitlist that extended to 2. I’ve finally got in now into Dartmouth.

Eating disorder

And even more are disabled from long covid, or having to care for someone disabled, etc. and I think a lot of people during the pandemic realized that life was too short to tolerate shitty jobs

I’ve been commuting out of state for my care - it’s not ideal in any way but it’s better than the long waits.

Something is rotten in Denmark or in this case, Wolcott. Multiple mortgage companies would have to have the same problem in not issuing payments. And since when does a town collect fees from an escrow account? That's nuts.

I don't think it suggests that you're an eminent domain supporter. Just someone who knows 20th century history and is also a little bit goofy. And it's better than dricky_tick anyhow.

Does your town clerk suddenly drive a Mercedes?

Park and ride, and State Police building.

good question

Independent schools have been serving rural towns without public schools since 1869. If the issue is discrimination, act 173 and the 2200 series rules have addressed that. At minimum, they should study the economic impact of this bill on rural communities. Beyond the four traditional academies (all of whom oppose this bill, BTW), towns like Sharon, North Bennington, Kirby, and much of SW Vermont have good, long standing relationships with independent schools that have served those communities needs so well that their economies have come to rely on that relationship.

Spousal privilege

>In the common law, spousal privilege (also called marital privilege or husband-wife privilege) is a term used in the law of evidence to describe two separate privileges that apply to spouses: the spousal communications privilege and the spousal testimonial privilege.

Just commented this on another post about the state potentially limiting or stopping state funding to private schools over the separation of church and state. This will not help the private school’s case

I’m in TX but no you typically see the same doctor at all of your appointments throughout the entire pregnancy and then hopefully they can be on call or working when it is delivered, but in our case for our 2 kids it was someone else that delivered it. It’s all a package deal. Maybe this place you are referencing has an atypical arrangement?

I just saw an article that the Mid Vermont Christian School forfeit their basketball game because there was a trans player on the opposing team. They school filed for state money, with the caveat that they refuse to “give up” their rights to not follow Vermont’s equal rights laws in terms or treatment of LGBTQ+ people and more. I think it’s more than fair that the state is considering denying this funding.

"There's no atheist in the foxhole" it doesn't matter if you practice religious beliefs or not at the very core everyone believes in some sort of higher power when put to the test. I don't say this to offend you or anyone else. I say this because at our core as humans we believe that we can transcend our transgressions of the past and become better, and to take it a step further if we can transcend ourselves then we become a higher power to some other living creature. No I'm not saying we become God's just better because we are less ignorant. At the end of the day isn't that how spirituality works.
