Sargent shared an op-ed critical of the Education Freedom Account program and wrote, "An excellent opinion piece regarding the NH voucher program enacted as part of the 2021-2022 State Budget. Unfortunately, our Republican State Representative for Newbury and New London voted in favor of the budget, which passed."

Voting Record, 2026
In 2025 and 2026 Rep. Sargent voted to consider increasing base per-pupil state school funding (HB 651 and HB 1826). Rep. Sargent then voted against establishing a tax cap for local school districts (HB 675). Rep. Sargent also voted to consider HB 1799, which would have redefined an "adequate education," increased how much funding the state must provide per pupil, and created a commission to study alternative methods of funding public schools besides property taxes. Lastly, Rep. Sargent voted against HB 1815, which pushes back against New Hampshire Supreme Court rulings on what the state must fund for an adequate education.
