New Hampshire schools are slated to get over $350 million in the latest federal COVID relief package, a significant boost to what has already been a major increase in federal education aid during the pandemic.
The $350.5 million is more than twice what the federal government promised to K-12 schools in New Hampshire in December’s COVID relief package and roughly eight times what schools here were allocated in the CARES Act a year ago.
The new package also sets aside $6.6 million for private schools and $162 for colleges and universities.

Survey points to divide on in-person classes
Published: 3/3/2021 6:48:41 PM
A recent survey of parents, students and staff in the Monadnock Regional School District found that most parents want kids to return to in-person classes five days a week as soon as possible, while employees and students generally want to wait until the beginning of next school year.
Superintendent Lisa Witte presented results of the survey at Tuesday night’s school board meeting and said district leaders are still working to determine what it will take to resume fully in-person classes. She intends to present those plans at the next board meeting March 16.
Despite rapidly accumulating snow, the Monadnock Region has seen no serious car crashes or power outages as of this morning.
The city of Keene had 8.5 inches of snow as of 6:30 a.m., according to National Weather Service forecaster Margaret Curtis. In Marlborough, the NWS recorded 10 inches around 6 a.m. and 9 inches in Swanzey shortly before 5 a.m.
Heavy snow is expected to continue through this afternoon, with snowfall rates reaching 2 inches per hour in some locations, according to NWS. Blowing snow could lead to whiteout conditions in some areas.
Heaviest accumulations, which may top 12 inches of fluffy snow, are expected in southern New Hampshire, according to the National Weather Service.
