The Exchange, New Hampshire Public Radio’s daily news talk show, will host a live discussion about how our state funds education, and the challenges of providing adequate aid for local school districts across the state. Host Laura Knoy will be joined by a panel of experts in NHPR’s Studio D on Tuesday evening, April 30 for a live community discussion.
The event complements the newsroom’s recent series Adequate—a deep dive into the repercussions of the state’s educating funding decisions on local communities. Through a series of five reports, NHPR reporter Sarah Gibson visited school districts throughout the state, including Berlin, Pittsfield and Manchester, speaking with administrators, educators and parents about public school funding. In conversation with Laura Knoy, panelists reflecting on the topic that evening will include:
- John J. Freeman—Superintendent of Schools, Pittsfield School District
- John Tobin—One of the attorneys for the plaintiffs in the landmark Claremont education case against the state, and a leader in the current NH School Funding Fairness Project
- Rick Ladd—Republican state representative from Haverhill; former chair of the Education Committee, N.H. House of Representatives
- David Luneau—Democratic state representative from Hopkinton; vice chair of the House Education Committee
- Jessica Huizenga—Superintendent of Schools, Milford School District
After the main program, Sarah Gibson will join Laura Knoy for a bonus conversation discussing her reporting.
