New Hampshire Challenges School Funding Rulings | Concord News

New Hampshire is making a bold legal move, asking its Supreme Court to scrap decades-old rulings that force the state to fund public education — arguing those decisions violate the state constitution by overstepping judicial power and undermining local control. The state wants to shift funding responsibility back to towns and cities, claiming only the legislature should decide how to pay for schools. This comes amid an ongoing lawsuit alleging the state fails to meet its constitutional duty on education funding — a battle that began in the 90s. Critics warn this isn’t about fixing inequities but making it harder to challenge the system, leaving families with rising property taxes and students with unequal opportunities based on zip code. The case could dramatically reshape school funding across the state, with arguments set to be heard by the Supreme Court soon.
