I do not think that Manchester is better off than Nashua,
if that is what you are asking. The teacher's union
required that teacher contracts be ready by a certain date
(in April) but the city budget is not approved until much
later. Last year 150 teachers got pink slipped in April
but I believe most, if not all were called back once the
budget was approved.
In NH the towns are responsible for school funding. There
has been a huge debate over school funding over the last

here so property tax is pretty much it. The property taxes
are high and yet many towns cannot afford to fund their
schools. One of the latest plans was to take revenue from
some towns to give to others but the legislature just keeps
going back and forth on it reacting to the opposition.
Anyway that is why the salaries vary from town to town.

steps. Does each step equal one year?
