Late last week, New Hampshire state senators approved a stopgap funding bill that would help public charter schools survive until the activation of a bill guaranteeing them annual funding in 2010 was in effect. If passed, some public charter schools would receive an additional $2,700 per-pupil in funding for the 2008-2009 budget year. Rep. Ken Weyler has introduced an amendment that would make funding sustainable. The amendment makes an adjustment in current state aid for next year so there will be no additional money needed. "Every other state has figured this out and we need to do the same," said Susan Hollins, director of the New Hampshire Center for School Reform. The bill moves to the Senate Finance Committee for its final hurdle.
