Charter Schools and the Chopping Block

By Laura Knoy on Monday, June 8, 2009.

Charter schools have long struggled to gain a foothold here in New Hampshire. Now there’s a new challenge for them: a proposed cap in the number of students who can enroll and the possibility of “laying off” other students currently attending. We’ll talk about this proposal and the future of charter schools.

Guests

  • Bill Wilmot, head of school at the Seacoast Charter School in Kingston
  • Rick Trombly, director of public affairs for the National Education Association - New Hampshire

We'll also hear from

  • Maggie Hassan, Democratic state senator from Exeter and Senate majority leader
  • Lou D'Allesandro, Democratic state senator from Manchester and chair of the Senate Finance Committee
