My Turn: Public education on a precipice

My Turn: Public education on a precipice Published: 2/16/2021 6:15:31 AM Public education is at the edge of a precipice in New Hampshire right now. Our state has some of the best public schools in the country: U.S. News & World Report ranks our state third in the nation for pre-K to 12 education. But this year, a well-coordinated effort in our state government is poised to dramatically privatize education in our state. With a governor, Executive Council, House, and Senate all under Republican control, some of the most aggressive school privatization efforts in the United States are being attempted right here. These efforts include the large-scale expansion of charter schools, the creation of a public-cash-for-private-school voucher program, and the appointment of state education leaders who, rather than advocate for public school students and schools, favor private alternatives.
