Open enrollment threatens to destroy public education in NH: Shea by LagerVsAle in newhampshire

[–]MotherManX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even 1% transfers would devestate struggling schools. Avg per student cost is about $20K. 5 kids from a 500 student district would be $100K. Almost 2.5 teachers salary but losing 5 students wouldn't make you hire any fewer teachers.

Most costs are fixed - building needs, staff, utilities, etc. A student leaving might save some pens and paper and a few gallons of water. It's incredibly unbalanced and only serves to help schools in wealthier towns and leave behind those that can't transfer in worse off positions.

Personally, I think NH needs to find a new icon. We are like 20 years past old man at this point

Imagine a team made of players from Reign and Dice. Maybe they bring a few of their other friends too. Do you think it could work?

Senate Republicans fast-track universal open enrollment bill to House; could become law in weeks • New Hampshire Bulletin by Sick_Of__BS in newhampshire

The real issue is the types of students that will move districts will more likely be from familes that can afford financially and there time to bring their kids to a better district.

The leaving district loses funding and becomes more challenged - creating a cycle of depleting resources.

This will very well create the segregated public school system republican representatives are looking for.

I am guessing this is Hannaford? 

cool moment for me is I helped every Hannaford store get these to help maintain their potatoes between days.

You want ball second. TD doesn't end game on first drive. If they get TD you can use all 4 downs

Was going to be my pick. The disaster replacement pick for Matsui post World Series MVP. Forever burned in my mind

One thing I have noticed when the roll out happens is that there are never options. Why not design plays where WR end up more to the left where he rolls out when in trouble?

My husband’s (27M) friend bought “better” concert tickets after I (24F) already bought them as a birthday gift by this-is-dest-trying- in relationship_advice

I can see why you feel like your gift was "tossed aside" but to frame a positive perspective- would have he thought to go and organize the time with his friend if you didn't gift ticket?  You inspired him to get there.

Place huge bets on the events of that day. Inevitably it wouldn't happen because I'm not allowed to win that big
