Charter Schools Search for Funding

By Laura Knoy on Wednesday, February 8, 2006.

A bill winding its way through the state house would allow charter schools to receive financial aid directly from the state giving them the assistance they say is necessary to stay afloat. But the idea has its critics who ask why public schools should compete with charter schools for limited resources. We’ll look at the debate. Laura is joined by Amy Quinton, Education Reporter at NHPR, State Representative John Hunt, sponsor of the charter school bill, and Roberta Tenney, Administrator for School Standards at the New Hampshire Department of Education. We will also hear from Emily Hamilton, Head of School and Lead Teacher at the Seacoast Charter School.
