Vermont § 801 - Applicability of Vermont Laws—Article XI A.

§ 801. Applicability of Vermont Laws—Article XI A.

• General school laws. With respect to the operation and maintenance of any school of the district located
  in Vermont, the provisions of Vermont law shall apply except as otherwise provided
  in this compact and except that the powers and duties of the school board shall be
  exercised and discharged by the interstate board and the powers and duties of the
  union superintendent shall be exercised and discharged by the interstate district
  superintendent. B. Vermont State aid. A Vermont school district shall be entitled to receive such amount of State aid for
  operating expenditures as though its share of the interstate district’s expenses were
  the expenses of the Vermont member district, and as though the Vermont member district
  pupils attending the interstate schools were attending a Vermont union school district’s
  schools. Such State aid shall be paid to the Vermont member school district to reduce
  the sums which would otherwise be required to be raised by taxation within the member
  district. C. Continued existence of Vermont member school district. A Vermont member school district shall continue in existence, and shall have all the
  powers and be subject to all of the obligations imposed by law and not herein delegated
  to the interstate district. If the interstate district incorporates only a part of
  the schools in the member school district, then the school board of the member school
  district shall continue in existence and it shall have all of the powers and be subject
  to all of the obligations imposed by law on it and not herein delegated to the district.
  However, if all of the schools in the member school district are incorporated into
  the interstate school district, then the member or members of the interstate board
  representing the member district shall have all of the powers and be subject to all
  of the obligations imposed by law on the members of a school board for the member
  district and not herein delegated to the interstate district. The Vermont member
  school district shall remain liable on its existing indebtedness; and the interstate
  school district shall not become liable therefor. Any trust funds and any property
  not taken over shall be retained by the Vermont member school district and held or
  disposed of according to law. D. Suit and service of process in Vermont. The courts of Vermont shall have the same jurisdiction over the districts as though
  a Vermont member district were a party instead of the interstate district. The service
  necessary to institute suit in Vermont shall be made on the district by leaving a
  copy of the writ or other proceedings in hand or at the last and usual place of abode
  of one of the directors who resides in Vermont, and by mailing a like copy to the
  clerk and to one other director by certified mail with return receipt requested. E. Employment. Each employee of an interstate district assigned to a school located in Vermont shall
  be considered an employee of a Vermont school district for the purpose of the State
  Teachers’ Retirement System of Vermont, the State Employees’ Retirement System, the
  Vermont workers’ compensation law, and any other law relating to the regulation of
  employment or the provision of benefits for employees of Vermont school districts
  except as follows: 1. A teacher in a Vermont member district may elect to remain a member of the State Teachers’
  Retirement System of Vermont, even though assigned to teach in an interstate school
  in New York. 2. Employees of interstate districts designated as professional or instructional staff
  members, as defined in article I hereof, may elect to participate in the teachers’
  retirement system of either the State of Vermont or the State of New York but in no
  case will they participate in both retirement systems simultaneously. 3. It shall be the duty of the superintendent in an interstate district to:
