New Hampshire Public Charter School Funding Bill Signed Into Law

http://www.boston.com/news/local/new_hampshire/articles/2008/07/11/lynch_approves_more_money_for_nh_charter_schools/

On July 11, New Hampshire Governor John Lynch signed a bill that gives additional state aid to six public charter schools. The schools will receive an extra $1,168 per pupil next year to six state-approved schools that operate without local financial support. The aid is on top of the $3,832 in adequacy aid the schools will get per pupil, bringing their total state aid to just $5,000 per pupil. The new law did not come in time to help a seventh school, the Franklin Career Academy, which closed at the end of the school year due to inadequate funding.
