Questions Fly Over Revamped Open Enrollment Plan A revamped school open enrollment bill presented Wednesday would have the state pay for the program and not the student’s resident school district.

“Instead of funding education you increase the disparity between school districts,” said Heather Robitaille, chair of Merrimack School District Budget Committee. “If you can find millions for open enrollment, why not find funding for every public school?” indepthnh.org/2026/03/25/q... #NHPolitics

Claremont voters reject school budget cap The cap, had it gone into effect, would have meant up to $9 million in cuts beginning in July 2027.

Voters in Claremont Tuesday defeated a petitioned article to cap annual budget increases, elected Don Lavalette and Brian Rapp to the School Board and easily approved a $42.9 million budget.

Bill requiring NH voters to consider school tax caps clears House The plan is the latest effort by Republican leaders to slow growth in local spending. Critics say it will hurt schools by forcing arbitrary cuts.
