Two education bills are raising controversy at the Statehouse this legislative session. One would abolish the State Board of Education and elevate the commissioner's job to cabinet status. A second bill would repeal last year's measure that requires a town to vote twice before raising their school budget by a certain percentage. Calais Rep. Janet Ancel is the chairwomen of the House Education committee. Addison County senator Harold Giard is a member of the Senate Education committee. Don Collins chairs that committee. They spoke with VPR's Bob Kinzel about the bills.
