I have been a taxpayer in NH for 38 years, most in Concord, last 5 in Loudon. I do not want our public schools to have less stringent criteria, larger classes, and the systemic loss of my taxpayer money as it has been sent instead to school voucher program people. These voucher payments do not require the same school standards, are taking away the needed resources and adequate facilities for our public schools.

Board Chair Cline needs to hear clearly that any further use of my taxpayer money for all of our public schools can not be siphoned away to programs that are not certified under the same criteria. And no further stripping away from our taxpayer money towards public schools should be allowed. I want to share this with Commissioner Edelblut and Mr. Cline (who should be recused due to his role in the Josiah Bartlett Center, which supports education voucher program, not our public school program.) I am a very unhappy, caring taxpayer in NH.
