This will be a listing of the local groups in New Hampshire dedicated to supporting their local public schools. There is no formal affiliation among these groups or between them and Defending New Hampshire Public Education, but Defending...is supportive of their missions in any way we can be. |
New Hampshire Community Groups Supporting Public Education
Taxpayers for Quality Education (Bedford)
Link TQE believes that education is absolutely vital to career success, to stable family life, to profitable and competitive business, and to a thriving democracy. A strong public school system is also without question, one of the most important factors in ensuring that our properties maintain their value and that our town is attractive to businesses. We are a non-profit, non-partisan, pro-education organization! We are concerned citizens committed to supporting quality programs that help ALL children achieve academic success. |
Friends of Oyster River Education
Link FORE worked to point out to the community the destructive actions being taken by the Board. The community ultimately restored the needed funding to the budget as well as defeat two incumbents in the March 2012 election. It appears that a majority of the newly comprised School Board is more aligned with the sentiment in the district. Our group is a diverse one and includes community members (both with and without children still in the schools), educators and former educators as well as former School Board members. We all care about the quality of education and appreciate how crucial public education is to our/all societies. We as a group, have also been very concerned and discouraged by what has been transpiring at the State level and hope that this tide can be stemmed and reversed. |
