Not increasing funding is not a cut. In fact, the schools will still get more money every year. ๐
In the period from 2001-2024, per pupil spending in New Hampshire has doubled on an inflation-adjusted basis, but test scores have remained the same... https://jbartlett.org/2025/06/per-pupil-spending-in-nh-nearly-doubles-from-2001-2024-as-district-public-schools-spend-1-25-billion-more-on-54000-fewer-students/
Not increasing funding, when things are more expensive is cut
Okay bear with me here. So school budgets will still go up by the rate of inflation. Inflation is how much more expensive things have become, so in inflation-adjusted dollars, they will be getting the same amount of money. Does that make sense?
Yes, ok bear with me. You know inflation is always 100% accurate to reflect real costs right?
Yes exactly!
Im glad you agree with my sarcasm
