Paying for Public Schools

NHPR

Almost twenty years after a court ruling that was supposed to radically alter education funding, a new report says not much has changed. And, it says, poor and rural towns could be in for a bigger hit in terms of state dollars in the near future. We'll find out more, including what the report calls a "new education normal."

  • David Juvet - Senior Vice President of the Business & Industry Association of New Hampshire.
  • Steve Norton - Executive director of the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies.
  • Middleton McGoodwin - Superintendent of schools for the Claremont School District.
