What happens to students with IEPs under open enrollment?
Because right now… There aren’t clear answers.
Services. Responsibility. Transportation. Access.
We need answers before this moves forward.

Hundreds of people across New Hampshire stepped up and spoke out on disability issues so far this session.
They shared their stories.
They submitted testimony online
They played the game they were being asked.
But when the results came in, many outcomes didn’t match how people showed up. Across the board, people are playing the game—and seeing the same results.
This article takes a closer look:

It shows that online testimony often has little to no impact on how legislators vote. Some legislators may not be reading it at all.
So what does that mean?
It doesn’t mean speaking up doesn’t matter.
It means the system isn’t set up to respond as people expect.
Submitting testimony matters. It’s one way people speak up and share their experiences.
And it can be even stronger when it’s combined with other ways of showing up.
Showing up in person.
Calling legislators directly.
Building relationships.
Working together.
Because real change often comes from people using many approaches.
