Senior Reporter, Youth and EducationI write about youth and education in New Hampshire. I believe the experts for a news story are the people living the issue you are writing about, so I’m eager to learn how students and their families are navigating challenges in their daily lives — including childcare, bullying, academic demands and more. I’m also interested in exploring how changes in technology and funding are affecting education in New Hampshire, as well as what young Granite Staters are thinking about their experiences in school and life after graduation.

The decision — the latest in a decades-long court battle over what the state needs to spend to educate its students — does not mandate a dollar amount. But the justices said lawmakers and the governor need to address the underlying shortfall in school spending.
