NEA-NH: Sununu Silences Educators By Signing Budget


CONCORD, June 25, 2021 – Once again, Governor Sununu has failed even the simplest test of leadership. Rather than chart a course that would help the largest number of New Hampshire families, students, parents, and taxpayers, he signed a dangerous and harmful budget at 4:45pm on a Friday afternoon. 

In his ongoing attempt to defund and dismantle public education, he signed a budget that silences educators while robbing our public schools of needed funds to pay for private school vouchers for the wealthy.

We will not be deterred. New Hampshire educators will persevere in their commitment to prepare our students to succeed in the world. We will do what we always have done each time a challenge is presented to us, and as always, keep kids at the center of everything we do.
