The New Hampshire Commission to Study School Funding, in partnership with the Carsey School, found that New Hampshire heavily depends on local property taxes to pay for public schools, which is inequitable to both students and taxpayers. The Commission has proposed a new formula to calculate the cost of an adequate education based on student needs and each community’s ability to raise money to pay for its schools.
