New Hampshire education officials want to use federal education funds to study “school induced stress” among public school students during the pandemic.
A proposal from the State Department of Education, which goes before the Executive Council for consideration on Wednesday, calls for approving a contract with a private research company to conduct a series of focus groups and surveys to analyze students’ moods over the next year, and come up with recommendations on how schooling can be improved.
The plan calls for spending $135,000 in federal education funds over the next two fiscal years.
