WHITINGHAM - At the Whitingham Selectboard’s regular meeting on Wednesday, April 6, attorneys Adam Waite and James Valente met with the board to discuss the Vermont Supreme Court’s ruling in the town’s education funding lawsuit.
The lawsuit was filed by Valente on behalf of the town of Whitingham, Whitingham student Sadie Boyd, and Whitingham taxpayer Madeline Klein. It argued that the education funding and education tax systems were unconstitutional, depriving Boyd and Twin Valley students of educational opportunities and unfairly penalizing Klein and the town in taxes.
