The Impact of Claremont

It’s been almost ten years since the New Hampshire Supreme Court’s landmark decision that many believed would ease the educational disparities that exist between poor and rich towns. But according to one study, not much has changed- there is still a gap between the two. Laura's guests are Scott Johnson, Professor of Law at Concord University School of Law, Visiting Professor of Law at Franklin Pierce Law Center and Project Director with the New Hampshire Citizens Voice Project, who released the ten year study (pdf) on the Claremont towns. Johnson was also one of the attorneys who filed the original Claremont lawsuit. Fred Bramante, former Chairman of the State Board of Education and currently At-Large Chair Member. Steve Marchand, Mayor of Portsmouth. We'll also hear from Barry Liveston, Chairman of the Lisbon School Board.
