ROCHESTER - The Rochester School District and the New Hampshire School Funding Fairness Project will host a forum called "School Funding & Property Taxes: Rochester School District" tonight at 6 p.m. at Salmon Falls Elementary School Cafeteria, located at 753 Salmon Falls Road in Rochester.

The one-hour informational meeting will include a Q&A session on how New Hampshire funds its public schools, highlighting unequal tax burdens and unequal opportunities for students. Organizers will share local data, explain recent court rulings and revenue options, and discuss next steps and opportunities for community impact.
