| Claremont Suit Return to index of stories... |
The communities that sued the state over how it paid for education went back to court today. They're asking the New Hampshire Supreme Court to declare the latest funding system unconstitutional. They say lawmakers failed to follow the court's 1993 order to define an adequate education, determine its cost, and then decide how to pay for it. They argue legislators worked backwards, by choosing an amount and declaring it to be adequate. They also want the court to give the state a deadline to come up with a new plan. The fight over education funding has literally been going on for centuries here in the granite state. Tomorrow night, we'll put the issue in perspective in a special report on the history of Education Funding in New Hampshire. |

| Intro IP Forest Land Return to index of stories... |
It took less than two months for International Paper to find a buyer for the 171,000 acres that it put on the market in mid July. The Trust for Public Land, a non profit conservation organization, will purchase the largest tract of privately owned land in the state and hold it temporarily until a special task force can determine what, if any, conservation easements should be put in place. This initiative has received a great deal of attention and support from state leaders and federal officials. Correspondent Theresa Kennett talks to the people who will be most affected by the sale. |

If you pick up the phone and someone asks for a donation for Concord police and widows of firefighters - be careful. Officials with the Concord fire department and Concord police say residents of several communities have reported calls from a group calling itself "Fund Raising." Fire officials say the department is not affiliated with, and does not endorse that company. Concord Police say neither the department nor its patrolmen's association is sponsoring or is affiliated with the fund drive. |
| College Overcrowding Return to index of stories... |
Dartmouth College made it's incoming freshman an offer several say they couldn't refuse- free on-campus housing, for a year. Fourteen students took school officials up on that offer, which is worth about five thousand dollars dollars. The catch? They have to put off admission until 2002. The school made the offer because an increase in enrollment and a housing crunch left them with too many students and no place to put them all. Education officials say the children of baby boomers also are reaching college age in large numbers, and a slowing economy has made a college education a more attractive option than before. AP-NH--College Overcrowding hrwdewst BACK TO SCHOOL: Housing crunch forces colleges to be creative -- Instead of starting classes at Dartmouth College this month, Anthony Bramante will split the next year between working at a group home for mentally handicapped adults and hiking the Appalachian Trail. The school asked the 18-year-old from Cleveland to wait a year to go to Dartmouth because of a campus housing crunch caused by an increase in student enrollment. He and 13 others have accepted the offer, and in return will get free college housing for a year, worth about five thousand dollars. Education officials say the softening economy has prompted more high school seniors to choose college instead of jobs. They say the children of baby boomers also are reaching college age in large numbers and the Internet has made applying to college easier. |
