Good morning, Burlington.

South Burlington earned a bronze bicycle-friendly award from the League of American Bicyclists this morning as part of its efforts to improve biking infrastructure and promote safe cycling (it is one of just six communities in Vermont with the honor).

Burton Snowboards & Circle Strings are partnering on a limited 13-edition set featuring an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar and a matched snowboard costing $20,000 each, viewable today at Burton's Burlington headquarters.

The products will ship worldwide before summer and a portion of each sale will support Divided Sky Foundation.

Local women entrepreneurs participated in the Women’s Festival of Crafts at Essex Resort and Spa on International Women’s Day, showcasing handmade hats, jewelry, clothing and more.

Vendors said the event helped locals support Vermont-made products while connecting with neighbors.

Vermont voters approved 82% of school budgets today (despite concerns over rising property taxes), helping local districts secure funding for public education.

The decision may require adjustments in tax rates as schools plan for upcoming needs.

On Monday, March 9, 2026, a state audit revealed that child care inspectors in Vermont failed to classify many safety violations in centers, meaning parents may not be alerted when self-reported issues are downgraded; the department is set to upgrade background check delays with a $1 million federal grant.

Rice cruised to a 79 to 60 win over Rutland at Patrick Gym yesterday, starting its seventh straight title game bid, while BFA edged out BBA 51 to 46 in overtime to claim a spot in its first final (since 1987).

Both teams will face off for the championship on Thursday.
