Bill > HB1831

This bill removes the current funding cap on targeted aid for education grants in New Hampshire. Specifically, the legislation eliminates a provision that previously limited additional targeted aid to $3,750 per pupil for municipalities with 5,000 or more students in their Average Daily Membership Register (ADMR). The bill will allow municipalities to receive their full extraordinary needs grant and fiscal capacity disparity aid grant without the previous cap, potentially increasing educational funding for larger school districts. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2026, and will impact how the Department of Education calculates total education grants for municipalities. The bill amends the existing Revised Statutes Annotated (RSA) 198:41, removing the language that restricted targeted aid and allowing for potentially more comprehensive educational funding. While the fiscal note is not yet complete, the bill represents a significant change in how educational aid is calculated and distributed in New Hampshire.
