| School district tax cap mandateShould state law cap how much local school districts can increase their budget each year?Grow the State Budget · Economic Democracy"School districts already have a "tax cap," it is their voters.

| "Education Freedom Account" programDo you support the “Education Freedom Account” program, which gives students access to the per-pupil share of state school funding to spend on private school or home school expenses?Defend the Public School Monopoly · Freedom To Flourish"I do not believe in education welfare payments for the rich.

| Public school open enrollment with limitsShould New Hampshire allow at least 10% of students in each school district to enroll in a different public school, regardless of where they live?Defend the Public School Monopoly · Freedom To Flourish"This is a funding issue. After serving 18 years on a public-school board, I understand how difficult it is to budget. Allowing Open Enrollment makes it even more unpredictable.
