Education funding is going back under the microscope at the New Hampshire State House, with some lawmakers making a move to bring funding up to levels recommended by a Superior Court judge last year, but with new restrictions on spending at the local level.Called out in last year's Superior Court ruling that deemed state education funding unconstitutionally low, legislators are bringing forward a new plan.Currently, state aid to cover the base per-pupil cost of an adequate education is set at $4,100. House Republicans on the Finance Committee proposed raising that figure to the court-recommended $7,356.01 per pupil, but they also want to rework the statewide education property tax in a way that would impose limits on local education spending. >> Download the free WMUR app to get updates on the go: Apple | Google Play <<"A three-year ceiling on spending," said state Rep. Tracy Emerick, R-Hampton. "It has to allow increases by consumer price index or by a two-thirds vote of the district's legislature."The idea of the state putting up a barrier to increased local spending on schools is being met with resistance."The spending cap substitutes your judgment for the judgment of my budget committee, my school board and, most importantly, my district," said Tom Enright, of the Hollis-Brookline Cooperative School District. "I don't want that. I want my local control."Others balked at the return of so-called "donor towns," which would see their education tax dollars redistributed around the state."That basic concept is fundamentally wrong and at odds with how cities and towns in New Hampshire have governed themselves for centuries," said Mark Decoteau, of Education Coalition Communities.Lawmakers are getting kudos just for making an attempt to address the difficult issue, but the opposition to the amendment is significant and bipartisan."This proposal will lock in the great disparities that currently exist," said Doug Hall, of Chichester.
