Unidentified Speaker, Moderator, opened a Tenant Education Committee meeting and said the session would be limited to taking testimony and framing upcoming school visits. "I just have to I just wanna announce the meeting first," the moderator said, noting the session was live on YouTube and that "we can't make any big decisions" at this sitting.
The moderator described the group’s approach of visiting different schools before full sessions to see how districts provide educational opportunities. "We've tried to pick schools that are different. We started in Canaan ... and now now we're CDU of the larger larger high schools in the state," the moderator said, framing the visits around the theme of "providing excellent educational opportunity for every Vermont child." The transcript uses the names "Canaan" and "CDU" as the schools visited; spelling and full institutional names are given as transcribed.
The meeting included scheduling notes: the moderator said the committee would be at CDU on December 8 (date provided in the session transcript; year not specified) and that Senator Hepburn was expected to arrive shortly to join the session. The moderator also told viewers that the committee had already "heard great testimony" during earlier visits and planned to repeat key remarks during the public forum later in the meeting.
The session did not include motions or votes. The moderator asked attendees to identify themselves for the record but also noted the group was experiencing audio problems that impeded clear sound for some parts of the recording.
The committee did not take formal action at this meeting; staff and attendees said testimonies would be collected and the committee will discuss them in a fuller session and during the public forum. The meeting was characterized as exploratory and informational rather than decision-making.
