In terms of fundamental funding, the session only appropriated enough money to bring the current funding level up to being fully funded," she said. "As we look forward to '88'89, the Senate put in less money than will be needed to fully fund parts of the special education program and building aid, Monihan continued. She said that will necessitate a supplemental budget for 1989 Just to bring the funding levels, to full funding. "In terms of funding, it is stilt a major struggle to match funding with commitment," she continued. "As we look at the funding pf the current commitment, and we look at having passed the literacy bill, we hope that the funding that the Legislature attached to the literacy bill in the future will 'be what is needed." l' School administrators have the same concerns about the Legislature's appropriated funding' to school districts, said Beraid Masse, superintendent of schools in Nashua and president of the New Hampshire School Administrators Association.

"The kids may work 36 hours after school. They could do that between Monday and Thursday," she said.

The bill does not restrict the number of hours a student can work on a school day. State Sen. George Disnard (D-Claremont), sponsor of the literacy bill, said he was concerned with the changes relating to school days. He added that although the bill lost some valued aspects, it still draws attention to the problem of illiteracy and dropouts in New Hampshire. "I was disappointed in the working hours change, because the working hours in the bill's original form had an appeal process," said Disnard, chairman of the Senate Education Committee.

"That's not in there and I have some problems with that." In its original form, the bill would have also allowed students to appeal the number of hours allowable to work. It could have been more than 36 in some instances, and less than 36 in others, depending on need and the student's ability to complete school work, he said. Also cut from the original bill was a provision that would have required persons under 18 years old to pass a literacy test before they could get a driver's license. It was one of the most hotly contested parts of the bill, supported by the governor, but opposed by the New Hampshire National Education Association. Disnard said the parts of the original bill that were deleted by the House and Senate during deliberations, such as tying possession of a driver's license to a minimum competency test, are going to undergo further study in the Senate Education Committee and may reemerge in future legislation.

"I don't know what will come out of the committee," he said. "At least we have something on the books to call people's attention to literacy's importance." The other parts of that bill were major good steps," Freedman said, including the diagnostic screening, literacy development training in kindergarten through 12th grades and funds for pilot dropout prevention programs. Freedman gave high marks to the Legislature's passage of a So cial Security offset bill that would improve retirement systems for teachers and school administra tors. Sununu also signed that bill into law. The bill means that re tirement benefits will no longer be reduced on the basis of accumulated Social Security benefits.

"The major one, from our point of view and from the point of view of the dwindling supply of teach ers and principals the Social Security offset bill that helped the retirement system is going to help keep and help recruit teachers and principals and assistant principals," said Freedman. The New Hampshire National Education Association was equally pleased with passage of the So cial Security offset bill. According to Marilyn Moni- han, NEA New Hampshire presi dent, the bill benefited both teach ers and students because teachers now have competitive retirement benefits and schools will be able to retain the teachers longer. But while teachers were pleased with better retirement benefits, they were concerned about other actions taken in the legislative session, Monihan said.

Even with a supplemental budget. Masse said fears the money will not be available in time. But, legislators say they are happy with the funds appropriated and distribution of sweepstakes money into the education system.

"Education in this session made out better than expected, with a quarter of a million appropriated to bring building aid up to full funding and catastrophic up to full funding $750,000," Disnard said. "When you consider all those, I'd say education did better than areas." riJ As a result of this past legislative session, more state sweepstakes money will be pumped into education, helping to fund textbooks, teachers' salaries and education programs, said state Rep. Arthur Tufts (R-Exeter), chairman of the House Education Committee. "It should lessen the impact on the property tax he said. Freedman applauded funding appropriations from the Legislature, stating, "I think overall, terms of funding there was a real recognition from the Legislature that schools were hurting.

"I think overall, the Legislature certainly recognized the importance of schools and the importance of the people in them," Freedman said.
