It’s spring again in New Hampshire, a time for blooming daffodils, filling potholes, and passing laws. As the weather has warmed, there has been a lot of discussion about the $90 million state education funding hole our public schools face in the coming year. That hole represents a loss of state aid to districts and is caused by pandemic-related changes in enrollment and free and reduced priced school lunch applications, as well as the expiration of additional aid and fiscal capacity disparity aid for higher-need districts. This hole is alarming, heartbreaking, and lifechanging. If nothing is done to prevent the shortfall, thousands of students and educators will feel the impact of further devastating cuts in their classrooms and families across New Hampshire will watch their local property tax bills increase in order to fund a bare minimum education.
