I oppose this bill because it reduces transparency or public accountability and does not meaningfully improve outcomes for New Hampshire residents.

Shirley MontgomerySupportHanover, NHfor MyselfJan 28, 2026

I support this bill because I think it is reasonable policy to include all types of public schools.

Regan LamphierOpposeNashua, NHfor MyselfJan 28, 2026

I don’t understand why anyone in the legislature feels that it is necessary to micro-manage our schools in this way. I oppose this bill.

Michelle MogeOpposeDerry, NHfor MyselfJan 28, 2026

This is an unnecessary bill in a waste of our public school and charter schools time and money. I strongly oppose this bill.

Let all flags in school. This is being used to exclude people and hurts children. Shameful.
