School system and taxation for schools in NH is very specific to NH « low/no taxes » mantra.
I am a resident of a neighbor state with several co-workers living in NH and I recall 15 years ago that there were massive school funding differences between towns. So there was an attempt at redistributing taxes to help pay for other schools from other towns, which was extended to all schools (freedom!) - so home schooling etc.
Is NH state funding local schools in some form ?
Typically it’s a mix of local, state and federal funds…
replyIf you really want to rage, read about Hasidic cults in NY/NJ gaming government funds.
replyI was encouraged by a story I heard from NPR about a Hasidic community turning out the vote and using official powers to take private a school building that had been underfunded under municipal control. It was genuinely impressive how much they changed their local community.
replyI understand how this would be infuriating to other locals. But it shows the power of community organization. They don’t win because America is systemically pro Hasidic, they simply turned out the vote (after years of non-participation.). This is an encouragement to be active in your own community. If you don’t, someone else may do it for you.
Demographics matter. Organized religions encouraging big families means high population growth. Democracy lets the majority rule.
replyThey don't "turn out and vote"
replyThe cult leaders tell them how to vote and then bus them to the polling station. They also largely are unemployed or work for others in the cult, so there is no obstacle there.
It's a scientology level cult, not a "community", and while certainly impressive knowledge and coordination to hijack tax payer money, it's still nakedly fraudulent.
