School Funding

building with flag

School Funding has been a heated Granite State debate for over two decades. In 2019 a superior court judge ruled that the state is failing to fulfill its obligation to provide students with an adequate education. Now it is up to legislators to better define what an adequate education looks like, figure out what it reasonably costs, and find a fair way to pay for it.
