In their wordsVerbatim, exactly as submitted

“We cannot support a bill with these costs when the State is failing to meet its basic constitutional obligation to provide the opportunity for a robust public education to every Granite State student.…”
— Debrah Howes, Bow · American Federation of Teachers- NHopposes
“Districts do not have the discretion to turn students away. This bill will penalize districts that have high populations of high-need students and reward districts where students are well-fed, well-rested, clothed, and read to every evening, resulting in further stratification between haves and have-nots.”
— Elizabeth Ewing, Hopkintonopposes
“Then teachers just "teach to the tests" and the students miss out.”
— Catharine Farkas, Sanborntonopposes
