Today, the House voted to concur with the budget passed yesterday by the Senate.
“NEA-NH believes that budgets should reflect our shared priorities by funding critical programs that serve our students, especially those most in need,” said Megan Tuttle, NEA-NH President.
“While there are many needs the Legislature must still address, the budget approved today by the General Court contains items that we support, such as increased funding for many districts chronically impacted by our state’s inadequate school funding formula, a long overdue boost to educators’ retirement, and a start to addressing the shortage of educators in New Hampshire,” said Tuttle.
NEA-NH is encouraged by the bipartisan effort that went into such important legislation and urges Governor Sununu to sign this budget into law.
