Publir Education in New Hampshire — An Economic Appraisal 



Small high schools cannot provide adequate educational opportunities for 

 New Hampshire youth. Recent legislation to encourage cooperative school 

 districts has not met with wide acceptance, apparently because voters erron- 

 eously believe that reorganization results in higher co^ts. 



Some attention might be given to alternate plans such as the "A.R.E.A." 

 plan in which districts maintain individual school boards and send students 

 to a central school on a tuition basis. 



The local property tax bears an extremely high proportion of the costs 

 of public education in New Hampshire.
