Isn’t that why they pay property (school) taxes? Regardless of where you live or come from? I don’t have kids & pay my property/school taxes.
Put money aside for a second and just think about the logistics of having to educate 3 times the number of children in terms of space, teachers and other personnel, bus routes, sourcing extra supplies during the pandemic, potential extra staff and equipment for any new special needs children, etc, etc, etc, and arranging all that with only a few weeks until school starts and with social distancing requirements impacting usage of space as well in a small school.

I think 3 X’s the amount is a little extreme. But if a family is paying their share of property/school taxes, they have every right to use the goods & services that they are paying for. Not their responsibility as far as the logistics are concerned.
However, there might rules/laws concerning “primary residence” on what goods & services you are entitled to use. Such as schools & various tax advantages.

Did you read any of the linked articles? The WMUR story says 3 times. The PDF I linked talks about school usage imposing a residency requirement.

Looks like they will have to obtain a NH drivers license if they have an out of state one. And register their vehicle in NH if registered out of state.
But anyone who moves to NH has to do this. Lots of retirees move to NH all of the time.
New Hampshire actually needs more young people.
"Whether you call it “silver tsunami” or “brain drain,” New Hampshire is facing a demographic crisis that has been building for decades.
Ten years ago when Exeter demographer Peter Francese and Stratham farmer and Agricultural Secretary Lorraine Merrill sounded the alarm in their book and documentary “Communities and Consequences: The unbalancing of New Hampshire’s human ecology, & what we can do about it,” they were largely voices crying in the wilderness."

I did not read any article. There wasn’t a link posted. I only believe about half what I read & hear, lol. Again, if one is paying property/school taxes, then why can’t they use the services? More population, more economic development.
We are seeing the beginning of a shift in our country. The pandemic has forced record people to work from home. As companies realize that not only are workers more productive at home but also overhead costs are reduced, you are going to see more and more people permanently working from home. Further the companies that do not catch on are going to struggle to find skilled/educated help. Paying high overhead to force people to spend hours a day commuting is ridiculous.
Certainly there are some people that prefer citylife but there is a reason people vacation in rural areas. All us lifelong NH residents should get ready for more neighbors.
Too early to tell. However, we are most likely adding more to the town's revenue then we are taking with a new house and large garage/barn we built, additional income from our vehicles registration/fees and no kids in school. No trash pickup, private well and sewer doesn't add much to the town's expenses.

There are links posted to both the WMUR story and the state's PDF file on residency questions. You asked what the problem was with this situation. I pointed out some of the difficulties in providing the services demanded by the increased class sizes.. Try to keep up here.

I found the link! Sounds positive to me! More housing, More schools, more jobs, more economic growth. Win win!
I think you should be more concerned about those moving into illegal apartments & basements & not paying any property/school tax. While sending their kids to the schools. Don’t harp on those who pay their school/property taxes. So yes, I am “keeping up here”
FROM THE ARTICLE:
"I think their enrollment has tripled at this point," Superintendent Kyla Welch said. “Enrollment has jumped from 17 in the spring to nearly 40 students at the kindergarten through eighth grade school.”
(17 to 40) REALLY? Their making sound like its hundreds!
“Welch said homes are selling fast in her districts and many are being sold to families, so she anticipates more enrollment increases”
MORE ENROLLMENT, MORE TAXES GENERATED, MORE JOBS MORE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, THE LIST GOES ON....
That’s just basic economics.
