Giana Gelsey for Myself MADBURY Allowing the Governor to request more funding from the general fund to reimburse school districts for extraordinary and unexpected special educations costs is incredibly important for accessibility of public education. I support this bill! As a school board member, budgeting for special education is a challenge due to unpredictability. We, as public educators, must accept all students, as all students have a right to education. Assuring that they are fully funded is paramount to education,. | MADBURY | Support | 498 | Apr 15, 2025 | |

James Hiltz for Myself Pembroke At a time when members of this legislature seem deadset on gutting our public education system in favor of private institutions that have little oversight, I am in favor of any option that gives schools access to more funding to support students with disabilities. | Pembroke | Support | 264 | Apr 15, 2025 | |
Barbara Callaway for Myself Hanover Public schools are meant to provide a good education for all of its students and some children need special help so they can be productive citizens and can handle their learning difficulties, behavioral issues, and physical disabilities.

tom luther for Myself claremont Greetings from Sullivan County: The buyers club SAU model worked fine in 1873. Much like Biden, its time has passed.
