[State] New Hampshire [Score] 0 [Charter Law Description] 
For any charter schools approved by a local school board, New Hampshire law provides that a minimum of 80 percent of the per-pupil expenditures in the school district follows a student to schools. For charter schools approved by the state board of education, New Hampshire law provides that the state’s annual per-pupil contribution to public education (that is, adequacy and disparity aid) follows a student to school. In theory, charter schools are eligible for all applicable categorical funding, but clear guidance regarding some funds is not available. In reference to transportation, New Hampshire law provides that pupils who reside in the school district in which the charter is located must be provided transportation to the charter by that district. However, it also provides that the charter school must cover any added costs for such transportation services. In addition, a charter application must provide a pupil transportation plan, including reasonable provision from the charter school’s own resources for transportation of pupils residing outside the district in which the charter school is physically located. The bulk of the state’s charters are authorized by the state board of education, not local school boards. According to recent data, the state-authorized charters receive $5,498 per pupil, as compared to state average for district students of $13,159 per pupil.
