While House leaders continue to drag their feet on legislative efforts to help the Claremont School District resolve their financial crisis, Rep. Glenn Cordelli is proposing a rushed amendment to HB 121 that would give the NH State Board of Education the ability to appoint an administrator to rule over a school district under certain circumstances, some of which are extremely vague. Fiscal accountability is important so that districts do not get into a situation that puts students and educators at risk, but this effort is misguided.
