Return to index of stories...
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook.
Governor Lynch has released his much-awaited plan for funding the state's schools.
The plan eliminates the statewide property tax and donor towns -- and targets aid to the neediest communities.
It has drawn considerable support from Republican lawmakers but still faces challenges in the legislature, and possibly, the courts.
Richard Ager with more on Governor Lynch's plan.
script iconIntro Other Plans
Return to index of stories...
There are several bills on education funding in the legislature.
Two were heard this week, a plan by Representative Mark Carter and Representative Fred King.
King is proposing a local government tax of 7-dollars in place of the statewide property tax.
Communities unable to raise enough to meet the adequacy level would receive targeted aid.
Those raising more -- would be free to spend the money on other purposes.
There are at least 9 legislative bills concerning education funding.
The House and Senate have until April 13-th to act on them and send them to the other chamber.

School superintendents who stand to lose millions in state aid under Governor Lynch's education funding plan are forming a coalition to fight the proposal.
Londonderry's Superintendent Nathan Greenberg says his community would get 4-million dollars less under Lynch's plan than under the current system.
He plans to contact other towns facing similar losses.
The Superintendent in Derry says towns will naturally seek each other out.
Lynch is urging communities to see the plan in terms of fairness, not winners and losers.
script iconIntro Sensible Funds
Return to index of stories...
A New Hampshire coalition of businesses is weighing in on the state's education funding system.
"The Committee for Sensible School Funding" released its study Thursday on how state education aid was spent by local communities between 19-99 and 2004.
The study found after the state enacted the largest tax increase in New Hampshire history to fund the new education system, only 39-percent of new state education aid was used to educate New Hampshire students.
The co-chairman of the committee says the study shows aid is being used to replace local spending rather than using it in addition to local money.
The study does acknowledge towns are meeting the legal letter of the law, which requires them to spend state aid on schools.
But the study found that doing so frees up money for towns to spend for municipal and county needs or tax relief.
The study only looked at state aid from non-property tax sources.
