2020 NH Governor's race: on Education


Dan Feltes: Support existing charter schools, not fund new ones

A legislative budget oversight committee, for the third time in the past three months, set aside a federal grant to nearly double the number of charter schools in New Hampshire. Feltes said he'd support a grant to give more help to existing charter schools that are struggling but creating new ones is not productive.

Andru Volinsky: Won case that state-funded public education is a right

I don't come from a wealthy background. I am the only one in my family to attend college--which I did on scholarship and by working summers and during the school year. Strong schools must remain a path to success. My decades of work to improve schools in New Hampshire as the lead lawyer in the Claremont school funding case is an example of how I have made a difference. We convinced the New Hampshire Supreme Court that a state-funded public education is a cherished constitutional right.

Andru Volinsky: Shameful that schools may lack science teachers

Because the state has never lived up to its responsibilities, sadly, the quality of a child's education remains an accident of where he or she lives. I met a fourth-grader named Aurora who wants to be a doctor. She'll struggle because Berlin doesn't have any chemistry teachers. It is shameful that in our great state we have school systems that lack science teachers and that schools have been forced to ration remedial programs and limit access to training in the trades.
