Jody Underwood, Croydon School Board Chair
early mover Jody Underwood is the chair of the Croydon, NH school board and she believes it’s legal for the school board to send taxpayer dollars to private schools (which it’s been doing for a year), in kind of a localized voucher system. The board argues this is something they can do, as Croydon does not have its own school for grades 5-12. The state of NH gang disagrees with their legal opinion, and is now suing the Croydon school board over their program.
NH Public Radio posted an interview with Jody here.
To help Croydon with their legal bills, you can contribute to this gofundme that is trying to raise just over $2,000.
If Croydon prevails, other school boards may follow suit and allow more choice in the government’s monopoly system. Stay tuned as this story develops.
