Parents have a Constitutional right to be part of their children’s education in public schools and upbringing. Parental awareness is of the utmost importance, yet that is not being supported now. It is time for us to take action. Our speakers will discuss these issues and how to make changes. First, we need to take our Parents’ Rights In Education resolution to your local schoolboard for passage, and for you to get involved in your students’ local schoolboard and school’s meetings. Every voice matters; make your voices heard!

Our event is open to the public, and we encourage you to join us and to bring a friend with you. For more information, please visit us on Facebook at Vermonters for Vermont or email us at V4V2018@aol.com.
