21. The Promise Of Charter Schools In New Hampshire The new hampshire School boards Association has resolved to oppose use ofpublic education monies if not under control of the local school board. http://www.jbartlett.org/news/nhcharters/endnotes.html

The Promise of Charter Schools in New Hampshire: What We Know and What We Need to Do Endnotes Data from the Center For Education Reform website, www.edreform.com , Charter School Statistics. September 2002. Across the United States, 37 States and the District of Columbia have enacted charter school legislation. In September 2002, 77 additional schools were approved to open with approximately 300 more being reviewed. New Hampshire is now the only state with a charter school law under which no charter schools have emerged. Under New Hampshire law, the State Board of Education reviews applications for completeness and awards a five-year charter. This does not ratify the charter and approve its opening, however. Ratification is by vote of the legislative/ budgetary authority of the specific New Hampshire city or town. Although specific timelines are listed in statute, New Hampshire's charter school law includes a provision allowing the school board and state board to waive any deadlines applying to their respective actions. (RSA 194-B:3, XII). In fact, there is no prohibition against both enabling votes taking place on the same day, one after the other, if the review and charter-granting process has already taken place. The generic authorization vote can also take place at a special district meeting called at any time by petition. Since this vote does not require raising money as per RSA 197:3, the courts do not need to be petitioned to hold the special district meeting.

At least annually and near the end of each school year, charter schools shall evaluate the educational progress of each pupil. Such evaluations shall include, but not be limited to, the New Hampshire statewide education improvement and assessment programs. The cost of this shall be borne by the state. Requires approval of local district: Local school boards approve or disapprove proposed charters. Collective bargaining: Charter schools have the right to bargain as a separate unit. The teacher must withdraw from other bargaining unit.

New Hampshire state Sen. Lou D'Allesandro Becomes Chair of New England Board of Higher Education March 10, 2004 BOSTON, MASS. The New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) named New Hampshire state Sen. Lou D'Allesandro (D-Manchester) chair of the regional organization. NEBHE was established in 1955 by a congressionally authorized, interstate compact designed to encourage cooperation among New England colleges and universities, which now number more than 270. NEBHE programs focus on the relationship between New England higher education and regional economic development. D'Allesandro is serving his third term in the New Hampshire Senate, where he is the deputy minority leader. He is chair of the Ways and Means Committee, vice chair of the Capital Budget Committee, and a member of both the Rules and Enrolled Bills and Finance committees. He is also a member of the Fiscal Committee of the General Court. "I am honored to have been selected to serve as chairman of the New England Board of Higher Education," said D'Allesandro. "As a public servant, I recognize the importance of establishing effective partnerships on issues of mutual interest. The organization's goal of enhancing the relationship between institutions of higher learning and economic development has never been more relevant, and I look forward to ambitiously pursuing that part of the agenda." D'Allesandro succeeds Carole Cowan, president of Middlesex Community College, as chair of the organization. Past board chairs include former New Hampshire Gov. Walter Peterson and former University of Maine System Chancellor Robert L. Woodbury.

Formal Evidence of Local Support Required Teachers in school (majority, or two-thirds of teachers in a district that has only one school), school principal, and superintendent. In addition, local voters have two opportunities to approve or deny charter schools: 1) voters decide whether they will allow charter schools in their district; (2) after a specific charter school contract is approved by both the local school board and the state board of education, it is put on ballot for voter ratification; additionally, since charter school budget is shown as a separate line item in district’s budget, voters could in theory limit or eliminate funding for the school.

Charter Schools in New Hampshire Law: Passed in 1995 Rank : 10th Weakest of the nation's 40 charter laws CER Grade : C Schools Students POLITICS: FILLING THE VOID: Governor Benson is scheduled to sign a bill that will dramatically improve New Hampshire's charter school law. Though the original law was created in 1995, not a single charter school has opened since then. This new bill will now allow the state board of education to sponsor charter schools, creating a multi-authorizer environment, and it does away with some very harmful provisions that were part of the original bill, including one that required charter schools to be their own LEA (Local Education Agency) for special education purposes. This is a monumental victory for charter school advocates in New Hampshire, who have been working for eight long years to be true participants in the charter school movement.

The School Choice Center of New Hampshire ^ Posted on 05/19/2004 9:34:30 PM PDT by mvpel To the Editor: At a senate hearing for HB 727, the Parental School Choice Voucher Bill, Sarah Browning read a note written by Fred Bramante, Chairman of the State Board of Education. Paraphrasing this note: Fred Bramante was opposed to the Parental School Choice Voucher Bill because on May 17th the Real World Learning Conference would allow for exploring school choice options. At the end of the conference, Nicholas Donahue, Commissioner of the NH Department of Education, gave a presentation and spoke about the most popular ideas resulting from all 18 work sessions. Surprisingly, nothing was mentioned about private school choice/vouchers. I find it disturbing that, although the impression was given that this conference would seriously explore school choice issues, the private school choice issue/vouchers, though most popular, was eliminated in the conclusion.

STATE ACTIONS ILLINOIS GOVERNOR'S PLAN TO RESTRUCTURE STATE EDUCATION BOARD MEETS NEW COMPLICATIONS. Source: Rockford Register (6/03/04). NORTH CAROLINA BOARD OBJECTS TO BILL THAT WOULD CHANGE SCHOOL CALENDARS TO HELP TOURISM. NEW COLORADO EDUCATION LAWS IMPACT CHARTER SCHOOL AUTHORIZATION. The Colorado State Board of Education will have the power to approve charter schools under a new bill signed into law by Gov. Bill Owens. Under the new charter program, charter school organizers will be able to bypass local school districts that reject or refuse to hear requests to set up charter schools. The law, created in response to several districts where local boards have restricted new charter schools, also creates a charter school institute as an agency of the state department of education. Two additional laws were also approved concerning charter schools. One requires greater accountability for charter schools and their authorizing districts, while the other creates a system for monitoring student academic progress over time.
