I strongly support HR?40, which urges the legislature to adequately fund public education and comply with the New Hampshire Supreme Court’s Claremont rulings. Adequate funding is essential to ensure that every student, regardless of income, background, or geographic location, has access to the resources and instruction necessary for a quality education. By reaffirming the legislature’s constitutional obligations to define, cost, fund, and hold schools accountable for delivering an adequate education, this resolution promotes equity and accountability in our public school system. HR?40 is a critical statement of principle at a time when funding disparities continue to affect students in under-resourced districts. While symbolic, this resolution underscores the legislature’s responsibility to uphold the rights of all students and provides guidance for future policymaking and budgeting decisions. Supporting HR?40 signals a commitment to closing gaps in educational opportunity, ensuring every New Hampshire child receives the education they deserve.
