The Cost Of New Hampshire's School Voucher Program Is Mushrooming

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : The bill's prime sponsor, Sen. John Reagan, argued that the lack of accountability didn't matter because he claimed that public schools "can't explain where the money goes now, anyway.
52% : Under the program, parents who already homeschool or private school their children can also apply for the vouchers, meaning that public schools receive less money while handling the same number of students.
49% : Public schools will lose the state's share of financial support, meaning that local districts may have to choose between cutting programs or raising taxes.
33% : In 2019, the Democrat-controlled legislature turned down $46 million from the federal Charter School Program, the program linked to millions of dollars worth of failed charter schools.
32% : It may be a win for the GOP, but it's bad news for public education in New Hampshire.
