High School Technical Education
Vermont's 15 regional technical centers have transformed themselves in
the last few decades. Today programs to train medical professionals
exist alongside traditional automotive courses. We talk with two
longtime tech center directors about these changes and about why sending students to technical centers can be a financial hardship for the
state's high schools. (Listen)
Also in the program, Attorney General Bill Sorrell has just released a report on how Vermont police use Tasers. We talk with Sorrell about a controversial case in Brattleboro and whether there should be a statewide policy on Taser use. (Listen)
And, what does it mean to be Jewish in Vermont? State Representative and stand-up comedian Jason Lorber recently hosted an evening of interviews, stories and music that celebrated Vermont's Jewish community. We hear impressions of the night at Burlington's Waterfront Theater. (Listen)
