Vermont Senate schedules Education Transformation conference June 11–13; adjourns until June 9

The presiding officer of the Vermont Senate announced that the Education Transformation Committee of Conference will meet June 11–13 at 10 a.m. each day in Room 10 on the main floor of the State House and that the meetings will be accessible by Zoom; the Senate then adjourned the token session until 11 a.m. Monday, June 9, 2025.

The announcement notified the public that “the 2 sides have agreed to meet next week on the eleventh, the twelfth, and the thirteenth at 10 in the morning with the intention of going all day until agreement is reached,” the presiding officer said. The presiding officer added that the meetings will be in Room 10 on the State House main floor and that a Zoom link is available on the Vermont Legislature landing page under announcements.

The presiding officer also noted that the Senate is holding a token session to move the calendar toward the Senate’s veto-override session set for June 16, 2025. The presiding officer said the Senate would adjourn “pursuant to rule 9 of senate rules” because no quorum had assembled and set the next convening for 11:00 a.m. on Monday, 06/09/2025.

The Senate’s statement directed members of the public to the Vermont Legislature landing page for the Zoom link and to the Vermont Senate Education Committee web page, which the presiding officer said is archiving documents exchanged between the two sides during negotiations. The presiding officer said the conference committee intends to continue “until agreement is reached,” indicating extended daily sessions.

No formal motions or roll-call votes were recorded in the token session excerpt; the only formal action in the transcript was the announcement of the meeting schedule and the adjournment under Rule 9.
