The New Hampshire House approved new financial aid for charter schools last week. The proposal would send $1.7 million in state aid to charter schools next year. Schools without local financial support would get $2,700 per pupil more in state aid. Charter schools supported by their districts would get $500 more per pupil. The House voted 204-118 to send the bill to the Senate. Senate President Sylvia Larsen predicts the Senate will not approve the spending."We are not passing additional financing bills out of Senate Finance with the exception of an emergency" such as to deal with a flood. Larsen said the state first needs to find a way to pay for regular state school aid before giving a boost to charter schools.
