H.R.28

Requesting the New Hampshire Supreme Court to clarify the state's constitutional obligations regarding education funding and administration.

The bill seeks the opinion of the New Hampshire Supreme Court on several key questions about the state's constitutional obligations concerning education. It asks whether the state must fund education directly or if local provision is sufficient, whether the judiciary can mandate specific funding beyond what the legislature decides, and if there is a standard for determining the adequacy of education. The resolution also questions whether the state must ensure uniform educational opportunities across towns or if local variation is permissible.
