CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- The New Hampshire House is voting during the week ahead whether to delay full implementation of a school aid law to prevent communities from getting less money this year.

Under a school aid law passed two years ago, communities were to see little change in aid levels over the first two years. Seventy-seven communities stand to get less money this year and a group of lawmakers wants them to get the same aid they had been getting for one more year.

The House vote is Wednesday.
