This voluntary program retains all existing local options for parents and students, including special education and transportation. The program enables the potential receiving district wide latitude in determining their reasonable capacity, without the addition of staff, to accept students or not. However, the incentives generated by this structure favor the likelihood of more schools opening up and being willing to receive some students when the blockade of localities preventing students from leaving is broken down.

This policy has the potential to modernize the state's educational framework, enhance parental choice, and improve educational outcomes by providing more opportunities for students to access high-quality education.

Significant concerns remain unresolved, including issues of equity, funding, special education services, and how districts would determine capacity. Clearly, many constituents are not calling for the state to override local control with this mandate. The minority strongly feels it is premature to advance a major overhaul of our public school system without clear, workable solutions to ensure fairness and equity for every student. The minority amendment proposes establishing a commission of legislators and experienced stakeholders to develop a comprehensive, thoughtful policy--one that clearly defines responsibilities, addresses budget and funding obligations, sets consistent standards for capacity, and creates a fair, transparent process for student enrollment and selection.

The first payment shall be 30 percent of the per pupil open enrollment aid amount, excluding differential aid components pursuant to RSA 198:40-a, II(b)-(d), multiplied by the number of eligible pupils enrolled on October 1st. Such payment shall be made on November 1st, January 1st, and April 1st. To calculate the final payment, the department of education shall multiply the per pupil amount, including differential aid components pursuant to RSA 198:40-a, II(b)-(d), by the average daily membership in attendance for the full school year, and subtract the total amount of the first 3 payments made. The remaining balance shall be the final payment paid on October 1st of the following school year. IV. The source of funds for payments under this section shall be moneys from the education trust fund established in RSA 198:39.

The recommendations shall be provided to the legislative oversight committee in RSA 193-C:8-a. 2 New Subparagraph; Education Trust Fund; Open Enrollment Aid.

It is not possible to predict how many students may seek to enroll in a school outside their resident district, as allowed by this bill, and therefore it is not possible to predict this bill's impact on state aid programs, or local school district revenues or expenditures.\nAGENCIES CONTACTED:\nDepartment of Education", "in_text": [{"date": "01/29/2026", "short": "0194s", "num": "2026-0194s"}, {"date": "23Apr2026", "short": "1451h", "num": "2026-1451h"}], "chars": 14656}, "nver": 4, "namd": 4, "rsa": {"RSA 194-D": "/laws/194-d", "RSA 198:40-a": "/laws/198#s40-a", "RSA 194-B:11": "/laws/194-b#s11", "RSA 198:38": "/laws/198#s38", "RSA 198:40-d": "/laws/198#s40-d", "RSA 193-E:2": "/laws/193-e#s2", "RSA 198:42": "/laws/198#s42", "RSA 198:39": "/laws/198#s39", "RSA 186-C": "/laws/186-c", "RSA 541-A": "/laws/541-a", "RSA 193-C:8-a": "/laws/193-c#s8-a", "RSA 14:49": "/laws/14#s49", "RSA 194-D:3": "/laws/194-d#s3", "RSA 194-D:8": "/laws/194-d"}, "amends": {"RSA 198:39": "/laws/198#s39", "RSA 194-D": "/laws/194-d"}}
