HB 1701 deserves support. Reestablishing the College Graduate Retention Incentive Partnership is a smart, targeted investment in New Hampshire’s workforce. It helps keep young professionals here, strengthens our economy, and makes better use of the public dollars already invested in higher education.

I support this bill strongly! EFA's are out of control! Public funds are mostly being used for private education for students who never attended public schools. Funds are used for recreational purposes, and there is no accountability for their learning. Public school children are being held to a higher level of accountability for their learning, while EFA students spend the funds without any accountability for meeting their educational milestones.
