The Commission has contracted with the Carsey School, including its public engagement program New Hampshire Listens, to provide staff capacity and to support its various activities. The Carsey School is managing the research and analysis, public engagement, public information, and logistical needs on behalf of the Commission.
As part of its public engagement work, the Carsey School is reaching out to key stakeholders representing public education leaders, local school boards, teachers, parents, students, business leaders, the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, and Reaching Higher New Hampshire.
The Commission is also working with the National Conference of State Legislatures and the Education Commission of the States to review studies and policies in other states that have faced similar challenges.
