  As she works to learn more about a cut in federal funding to the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP), Sen. Maggie Hassan visited a company in Jaffrey on Tuesday.


The town of Jaffrey, New Hampshire, is facing a significant reduction in state funding, with a cut of nearly $1.5 million in its Municipal Education Property Tax (MEP) allocation for the upcoming fiscal year. This drastic reduction, which represents a 98% decrease from the previous year's funding, has left local officials scrambling to find solutions to cover the shortfall. The cut is part of a broader statewide adjustment in education funding, affecting several communities. Jaffrey's school district is now considering various cost-saving measures, including potential staff reductions and program cuts, to mitigate the impact of the reduced state aid. Local leaders are also exploring the possibility of appealing the funding decision and are urging residents to engage with state representatives to advocate for a more equitable distribution of educational resources.
