The New Hampshire Senate approved a plan last week that keeps a public charter school state aid plan alive, providing just one dollar per pupil but holding out the promise that more money will be coming when a Senate delegation meets with House members in a conference committee. Sen. Margaret Hassan said the one dollar per pupil in House Bill 1642 is a temporary move, "while we continue to find ways to find a viable funding mechanism for these schools." The House passed the bill with $1.5 million for seven public charter schools. William Wilmot, of Seacoast Charter School and the New Hampshire Public Charter Schools Association, said the plan "was a step we needed at this point to send us to committee of conference and figure out a solution."
