The New Hampshire Senate Education Committee voted 6-0 last week to give independent public charter schools an extra $2,700 per student for the coming academic year. Bill Wilmot, the director of Seacoast Charter, said public charter school advocates had actively lobbied the senators and he holds out hope that the bill will move easily through the legislature. "While there are mixed views on how charter schools came to be in New Hampshire, I think that many agree that they are doing wonderful things for kids. We cannot emphasize enough how important this money will be to the continued success of our schools." IF HB No. 1642 fails, public charter schools independent of local districts would be forced to try to operate on less than $4,000 per student next year, plus any money they could raise privately.
