The existing level of reporting already meets the standards of this bill's requirements. The bill is not needed

I support this bill on principle for the good of NH school districts.

It seems that the majority NH State lawmakers want to do away with Public Education in New Hampshire. The Claremont school system is in crisis. because these lawmakers insist on not funding a proper education for the children in our Public Schools. The least you could do is provide this band aid and show humanity for schools, teachers and students in crisis and support for Public Education, a bedrock of a community that values true Democracy.

It seems rather foolish to repeal the business entrprise tax when the state faces fiscal challenges. This will increase financial pressure on property poor towns.

Sharon RacusinSupportHanover, NHfor MyselfJan 27, 2026

This is a better way to deal with insolvent school districts rather than having a ruthless intervention. Adequately funding schools would solve this problem.

Clear, early processes for addressing financial distress can prevent crises that harm students and educators, but solutions must prioritize educational equity and avoid disproportionate impacts on high-need districts.
