This bill amends RSA 671:20 to require specific information to be printed on school budget ballots prepared by school district clerks. The new provisions stipulate that the ballots must be prepared similarly to non-partisan town elections, with the distinction that they must be of a different color than other ballots used in the election. Additionally, immediately before the question of adopting a school budget, the ballot must include several key pieces of information: the average cost per pupil based on the previous year's average daily enrollment divided by the district's total expenditure, the average daily enrollment for the district over the past five years, and the average full-time teacher-to-administrator ratio.

The bill introduces new legal language that specifies the information to be included on the ballot, enhancing transparency for voters regarding school budget decisions. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text provided. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
