NH Lawmakers Proposing Legislation to Increase Aid to Charter Schools

Posted: Updated:
CONCORD, N.H. -

New Hampshire lawmakers are proposing legislation to increase aid to charter schools.

According to the AP,  State Rep. Ken Weyler, a Kingston Republican says charter schools now get $5,450 per student. Under his proposal, the schools would get about $1,100 more per pupil based on the statewide average for the last school year.

Weyler says another way to boost funding is have the student's school district pay charter schools the statewide average cost per pupil.

The House Education Committee is holding a meeting Tuesday afternoon.
