It is astonishing to me that the New Hampshire Legislature is devoting so much attention to expanding open enrollment when it has yet to meet its most basic responsibility: adequately funding public education. You continue to debate policies that move students around like pieces on a board while ignoring the constitutional obligation to ensure every district has the resources it needs to educate its children. Until the state finally steps up and funds education responsibly, focusing on open enrollment feels less like reform and more like avoidance. It’s past time to address the real problem.
