In 2025, the New Hampshire House and Senate split their education committees in two. One committee handled education policy related bills and the other education finance bills; leaders said the division was necessary to manage heavy workloads.

This year, that instinct appears justified. Republican lawmakers have churned out a deluge of bills affecting public schools, from curriculum overhauls to teaching prohibitions to tax caps. Many have become high-stakes, high-emotion battlegrounds, as Democrats decry intrusions into school autonomy and Republicans champion parental choice and fiscal restraint.
