VTDigger is known for powerful education reporting ever since its earliest days. Whether it’s our work on Act 46, the teacher health insurance battles, financial struggles in the Vermont State Colleges System, or the most recent reporting on standardized testing, VTDigger cuts through the spin.
We present accurate data and analysis that helps parents, teachers, administrators, school board members and taxpayers understand what’s happening in Vermont’s education system.
Barbara Benedict is the president of the J. Warren and Lois McClure Foundation, which has supported VTDigger since 2011. The foundation, previously led by Barbara’s parents Mac and Lois McClure, focuses on work to ensure that all Vermonters have the opportunity to access higher education.
Over the years, we’ve watched as Vermont Digger has raised the level of public awareness and discourse via in-depth news coverage, bold investigative journalism, and broadly sourced op-eds. We’ve come to depend on Digger’s statewide, balanced coverage to stay informed about education and workforce issues affecting Vermonters; that information helps us direct our grantmaking in support of equitable access to postsecondary education and training opportunities that lead to Vermont’s most promising jobs. Digger is a resource by which citizens and organizations can come together across miles and aisles to learn from each other and promote the greater good.
