This bill mandates the commissioner of the New Hampshire Department of Education to compile a report assessing the potential impacts of the dissolution of the United States Department of Education on the state and its residents. The new section, titled "The Protecting Our Neighborhood Schools Act," is inserted into RSA 21-N, specifically after section 13, and outlines various concerns regarding the loss of federal funding and services that would affect vulnerable students, students with disabilities, and working-class families. The report is required to be presented by October 1, 2025, and must address issues such as the financial implications for property taxpayers, workforce recruitment, educational outcomes, and the availability of special education services.

The bill emphasizes the negative ramifications of the dissolution, including the potential loss of Title I and Title II funding, which are crucial for educational resources and teacher development. It also highlights the constitutional concerns regarding the dissolution of the Department of Education by executive order. The report will be made publicly available on the department's website and will be shared with key state officials, ensuring transparency and awareness of the potential consequences of such a federal action.
