This campaign is based on one simple idea

All schools receiving public funds should follow the same rules.

In Vermont, some private/independent schools receive public funding, but aren’t required to follow the same rules as public schools.

That means public money can be used at schools that do not guarantee the most basic guardrails like qualified teachers or fair discipline policies. Some are allowed to deny admission to students with disabilities or expel them without clear process or oversight.

It’s inconsistent.
It’s irresponsible.
It’s dangerous.

And most Vermonters don’t even know it’s happening.

We’re working to change that and we need your help.

Any amount you can donate will help us fight for fairness in Vermont education.

Same Dollars Same Rules

A campaign for fairness, safety, and consistent standards in Vermont’s publicly funded schools
