A group of New Hampshire communities is organizing against potential efforts by lawmakers to resurrect a model of funding public education that redistributes money from “donor towns” to poorer school districts.
The burgeoning group has roots in The Coalition Communities, an initiative spearheaded by the city of Portsmouth 20 years ago to fight how the state raised and distributed its statewide education property tax.
