Education
Public education that is accessible to all children and adults in New Hampshire helps ensure a strong foundation for the health, prosperity, and overall wellbeing of all Granite Staters. Investments in public education from kindergarten to higher education have the potential to provide long-term positive returns to local communities, their residents, and the overall New Hampshire economy. Funding education systems that foster attainment and learning, while encouraging every student to succeed, will broaden individual opportunities and provide New Hampshire with a skilled workforce.
NHFPI focuses on funding for public education in New Hampshire, and the importance of ensuring equitable access to opportunity so that all Granite State children and adults have the skills that will enable them to prosper.
