HB 1691 New Hampshire House · 2024 Regular Session

relative to the definition of an adequate public education.

HB 1691 updates the legal definition of an adequate public education by establishing specific subject areas that schools must cover to meet state standards. The bill requires instruction in core subjects like English, math, and science, while also mandating attention to arts, world languages, health, technology, and personal finance. It further directs teachers to integrate essential skills such as digital literacy and logic into their curriculum. Although the bill was referred for an interim study in 2024, the committee ultimately decided not to recommend it for future legislation.
