Recent media coverage has raised questions about South Burlington School District’s per-pupil spending compared to other districts across Vermont. We want to provide clear and accurate information for our community.
According to the Vermont Agency of Education’s most recent data, South Burlington’s per-pupil spending is below the state average and currently the lowest in Chittenden County. While our district was historically known as one of the higher-spending systems in past decades, today the numbers tell a different story.
We remain committed to balancing fiscal responsibility with strong academic programs, ensuring that students receive high-quality educational opportunities while making efficient use of taxpayer resources.
