New Hampshire is spending too little on special education, a judge ruled Monday. But Superior Court Judge David Ruoff stopped short of ordering the Legislature to spend more. This is the second court in six weeks to conclude the state is failing to adequately fund public education. In July, the state Supreme Court said the state is underspending on general education. Ruoff agreed Monday and said it’s also spending too little on special education. But both courts left it up to the Legislature to decide how to fund schools and how much to spend on them.
