Act 46 is the state's new school district consolidation law.

There's a lot of controversy surrounding Act 46, the state's new school district consolidation law. Governor Peter Shumlin thinks Act 46 is working pretty well, but some lawmakers are calling for major changes.

We hear the pros and cons of Act 46 from House Education Chairman David Sharpe and Stowe Representative Heidi Scheuermann. And we get the perspective of a local school board from Montpelier School Board member Steve Hingtgen.

Broadcast live on Fri., Nov. 13, 2015 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
