Education Focus Group: Calendar of Events
As a public school or community leader, you play a critical role in advancing high quality educational policies and practices in our state. As an elected or appointed school or municipal leader, you have direct knowledge of managing the fiscal and adequacy responsibilities required to assure our schools work for all our children, not just a few. We want to hear from you about your experiences in both managing the resources available to our schools and delivering those resources to students.
We invite you to join us as a participant in one of 12 stakeholder focus groups to be held during the month of June. Each focus group will consist of a mix of 8-10 school and municipal leaders from across the state. The discussions will take 60-90 minutes. The results of all focus group discussions will inform the Commission as it shapes it recommendations in the coming months.
At the end of the 2019 session of the General Court, the Commission to Study School Funding was established. The Commission was appropriated $500,000 to support comprehensive research and public engagement processes that will result in policy recommendations for consideration in the 2021 legislative session.
The Commission is partnering with UNH’s Carsey School of Public Policy and its public engagement program, NH Listens, in this important effort. The Carsey School will support research, engagement, communications, and logistic needs of the Commission in collaboration with state agencies, state and national education experts, and local school administrators, teachers, parents, and students.

We are trying to reach school board members, town councilors, and district budget leaders. Please note, we have other opportunities forthcoming for a variety of other stakeholders so prefer this invitation remain specific to people in these roles.
Please join us by registering for one of the dates and times that works best for your schedule.
