In my many years as a teacher I observed that some severely disabled students need one on one and at times 2 on one attention. Imagine a small district where two families w severely handicapped kids come after the budget is passed! It can be a very costly program with likely the state sitting back saying “too bad!” It’s a tragedy that NH basically leaves the districts on their own! NH legislators should consider a plan where additional funding goes to communities w low property wealth. It could be done.
Thank you Andru. I'm presenting an warrant article at the upcoming Grantham town meeting on voucher system accountability and property tax burden from the state's abdication of its responsibility to fund an adequate education. This stuff gets wonky! I'm afraid I won't be able to field claims about the EFA program you mention and that are written about on the Josiah Bartlett Center web site. I'll look for bullet points from Reaching Higher NH but wondered if you have any suggestions. That 30K+ number of those who registered in opposition to HB 283 was supposedly the highest ever recorded!
So glad you are on Substack! Hope to see this also as a Viewpoint in our newspapers.. sending now to my family and friends fighting the good fight in conval public hearings just about every night..
