Do you support the “Education Freedom Account” program, which gives students access to the per-pupil share of state school funding to spend on private school or home school expenses?
"No accountability, no real oversight - the state has taken a hands-off approach to this one program and allowed public dollars to be dedicated to private education (homeschooling and catholic/religious schools included. There are NO annual eligibility checks - the only program with public dollars flowing in that has zero re-verification for eligibility."

Do you support New Hampshire’s current system of public school funding, with about two-thirds of total funding coming from local property taxes?
