Community service is already incorporated in high school graduation expectations for most NH schools, but community service should be just that- service. Not working for a grade or other rewards like course credits.

Division of testimony
15 submissionsThis Bill is nothing more than the State of New Hampshire paying someone's tuition. Worse than that, this Bill lessens the value of volunteer work. The use of the "triple win" is EVIL. This Bill should be burned upon arrival.
Another tax revenue government give-away concept. Also, community service is hardly scholastic, greatly diminishing the value of the degree.
While it is reasonable to limit tuition credits to in-state public institutions, volunteerism should be encouraged among all high school students including private schools
