If charter schools are truly Public Schools not just in name only, they need to have the pupil ID and a collection of growth and achievement measures as well. Where taxpayer resourced public funds are being spent there absolutely needs to be accountability to the public.

All schools should meet the same reporting and safety requirements. Charters are public schools and should certainly maintain records to best practices.

Dear Representatives, I urge you to SUPPORT this bill. Maintaining student records holds educational institutions accountable to student outcomes and should be maintained by all schools, including charter schools. Thank you for your time.

All schools recieving state funds should be held to the same accountably. You can’t give tax payer dollars away to a school without oversight. All while continuing to hold public educators and schools to the fire. Completely unethical and such disappointment in these continued ridiculous bills being brought to discussion in Concord,

Childhood immunizations are essential! Just ask my 71-year old husband who contracted polio in 1955, months before the vaccine was out. NHVA is a key component of the New Hampshire’s successful vaccine program. Do not shut it down!

I find it impossible to believe that this hasn’t always been the law. Of course they should.

Kara ClavioSupportDurham, NHfor MyselfFeb 12, 2025

I am writing in support of HB740. This is a common sense effort to maintain records of all students regardless of where they attend school and should be required. Please vote YES on this bill.

Christine GreeneSupportStrafford, NHfor MyselfFeb 12, 2025

Records should be kept for charter schools

Sam MorrisonSupportPlymouth, NHfor MyselfFeb 12, 2025

This is common sense, Charter schools are public schools and thus records should be kept after the event of closure to ensure that students receive credit for work completed.
