Tuesday, February 13th at 6pm Hampton Academy Cafeteria 29 Academy Ave. Hampton, 03842
Join NH School Funding Fairness Project (NHSFFP), SAU 90, SAU 21, & the Hampton School
Board at the Hampton Academy Cafeteria on 2/13 at 6pm to learn about how New
Hampshire downshifts the cost of public education funding to property
taxpayers, and how this system creates huge disparities in tax bills town to
town and in the quality of education students receive. This presentation covers
the history of the decades long fight for equitable school funding, explains
the current model & shows local examples of the inequities it creates, and
brings the issue to the present by discussing the recent NH Supreme Court
rulings, the legislature, and the path forward. This is an hour-long event that
includes plenty of time for Q&A. By bringing together community members and
elected officials, our aim is to get everyone on the same page about the
importance of fixing the school funding in New Hampshire and build momentum for
change. This presentation will be specific to SAU 90 & 21 and the specific
problems these towns face in our School Funding Model. This presentation will
be recorded and distributed to those who register.
