BERLIN — The Berlin school board has decided not to join the school funding lawsuit originally filed by the Contoocook Valley School District two years ago. They will instead wait to see if a second lawsuit is filed that addresses the inequity in the state’s method of funding education through property taxes.

Three other school districts joined Con-Val and the districts argued in Superior Court that the state was not fulfilling its N.H. Constitutional obligation to fund the cost of an adequate education for all students.
