House votes to further study school voucher bill
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The New Hampshire House has put a school voucher bill back on the shelf, declining to advance one of Republican Gov. Chris Sununu's top legislative priorities.
The bill would have provided parents with the state's basic per-pupil grant of roughly $3,000 to be used for private school tuition or home schooling. The House voted 170-159 on Wednesday to further study the bill, which has been significantly overhauled since it was introduced more than a year ago.
The bill's supporters argued that the changes made since then addressed the concerns of both parents and school districts that fear losing money if students leave.
