"Charter
Schools Search for Funding" 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.
