HANOVER - There will be 38 layoffs this week with more expected in April, and tuition will go up more than 4 percent, according to a plan to bridge the $100 million budget gap at Dartmouth College.
DURHAM - Perhaps University of New Hampshire President Mark Huddleston said it best last week when he described what's needed to execute the school's new strategic plan, which includes an audacious fundraising and building campaign. "How can the University of New Hampshire, an institution that runs on fumes at the best of times, contemplate such initiatives?"

Londonderry needs to cut the bloat out of its budget. There's a lot of unneeded frills. When money gets tight I have to cut spending, well, let the school district do the same.

Still amazes me that Londonderry thinks itself a 'poor' town and somehow deserves extra money from the state. Education is and must remain a local funded event, regardless of the legal opinions otherwise. To remove local funding is to remove local control. Look only to MA for proof of that.
If Londonderry stopped artificially controling proper growth and throwing road blocks against develeopers, we would have the tax base needed to fund our own schools and keep control where it belongs in Londonderry not Concord.
