  I do not support vouchers because the Commissioner of Education stated that the school voucher program could not be audited, and House Republicans waived a bill from going to House Finance that expanded voucher eligibility costing by an unknown amount. We need to support our public schools first and if we are going to nickel and dime them then we should do the same to the private institutions receiving public funds. Several states have seen their budgets balloon solely because of these vouchers, and are backtracking as a result. We've already seen our voucher program go massively overbudget by millions of dollars and we need to reign it in.

  New Hampshire has failed to fulfill its constitutional obligations of funding schools to an adequate level with the current funding system, and something needs to change. I co-sponsored a few bills focused on increasing school adequacy requirements this past term and plan on bringing them back with a teacher retention fund to help provide more competitive contracts across the state.
