If you would like to discuss plans for what's next with HB406, I encourage you to come to the Hopkinton Library this Saturday from 10 - noon. (Thanks to Diane Lachance for arranging this central location!)

Working via email can be slow to produce results and I think an actual meeting would help bring quicker resolution and a better overall plan.

I would like to use this session to work on the steps to take from this point forward. I think the testimony for the public hearing is the most important thing at this time. Perhaps we can brainstorm points to made in support of the legislation, see if there are specific people comfortable with making any of these specific points we come up with, etc. etc.

I realize Saturday won't be good for many people and that it is very short notice. We were thinking that Saturday might be the best day since there may be a spouse home who could watch the kiddies if they'd prefer to stay home then go to another meeting! This could also be something that hubby is interested in attending and helping out with. And with hearings on T/W/TH, I thought it best to schedule this meeting sooner rather than later. Since there are 10 days notice required before a hearing, the good news is that it won't be next week, but could be as soon as the week after next.

I can help with directions. Take 89 North to exit 6, at the end of the ramp take a right, go about 2 miles to the center of Contoocook (which is a village in North Hopkinton), at the center you will be at a "T" intersection, take a left, go over the bridge and at the "V" in the road take a left(you must yield to the oncoming traffic), after the firestation take a left onto Pine Street, go about a third of a mile and Houston Road will be on your right, take Houston Road and you will see the library in front of you.

If you are coming from the north, take exit 6, take a left at the end of the ramp, then follow directions above. After you go over the bridge in Contoocook Village, the "V" in the road, the fire station and Pine Street are all one right after the other, stay alert. I hope this helps.

People have raised serious concerns about the bill. I hope we can also use this time to address those concerns. Legislators are not constrained to adopting bills only as written, and homeschoolers should not be constrained to supporting bills only as written.
