I am oppose to this bill. We cannot afford it.

Targeted grants help ensure every student has access to adequate educational resources, supporting equity across districts.

Arnold ScottOpposeStratham, NHfor MyselfFeb 3, 2026

No more funding for NH's failing public school systems!!

Giana GelseyOpposeMadbury, NHfor MyselfJan 20, 2026

Maybe you should try fixing adequacy funding and how schools are funded

Kathleen MalsbendenOpposeNewmarket, NHfor MyselfJan 20, 2026

I oppose HB 1827. While framed as targeted aid, this bill relies on discretionary grants instead of fixing the underlying problem — the state’s failure to adequately and equitably fund public education. Adequacy should not depend on temporary grants or legislative favor; it should be guaranteed through a fair, predictable funding formula that does not continue to shift costs onto local property taxpayers.

Rose LaRochelle-ColbyOpposeHampstead, NHfor MyselfJan 20, 2026

The lack of a state funding formula generated by state revenue to support education in NH, I feel the wealthier towns should fund their local schools.
