Plan boosts aid for poor New Hampshire towns
In Concord, Senate sponsor Iris Estabrook proposed a 48 million amendment to the 914 million adequate education funding bill to shield Rochester Somersworth and Farmington from cuts while Seabrook gains 2.1 million and Portsmouth 1.2 million. The measure would add 2000 per child to bottom 12.5 percentile towns and 1250 per student for those between 12th and 25th percentiles, limited to communities below the state average income. The plan aims to fund universal adequacy as well as targeted aid for English language learners under a court-mupported funding framework.
