There are perfectly good schools for sale all over Vermont.
Act fast, it’s a district surplus sale.

The Vermont State Legislature approved a new law regarding public education on this day in 1892.

Vermont had far too many schools. A single town could have any number of districts, burdening each town with operating numerous buildings.

The Legislature passed "An Act Relataing to Public Instruction." Although Vermont did need a large number of schools because of its challenging rural geography, it was determined each town should constitute a single district.

This reduced the need for so many buildings, and the law authorized the closure and sale of those buildings deemed unnecessary.
