Appeal of Pittsfield Sch. Dist.

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the New Hampshire State Board of Education’s determination that the Pittsfield School District must pay tuition for a resident student attending an open‑enrollment school outside the district. The Court interpreted RSA chapter 194‑D to require a sending district’s payment of tuition regardless of whether the district has adopted an open‑enrollment program, relying on the statute’s plain meaning and recent legislative amendments.
