NH HB1815

Redefines New Hampshire's policy on adequate public education to provide students with knowledge and skills for participation in social, economic, scientific, technological, and political systems of a free government

Establishes that education financing decisions are "political policy matters reserved to legislative and executive judgment and control," creating a system of shared responsibility between state and local government

Maintains 11 required learning areas for an adequate education: English/language arts, mathematics, science, social studies (including Holocaust/genocide education), arts, world languages, health/wellness, physical education, engineering/technology, personal finance literacy, and computer science

Removes language referencing the 2008-2009 school year as the starting point for adequate education standards, simplifying the statutory definition

Fiscal impact is pending as the Department of Education had not provided required information as of December 2025
