UNDERWOOD: EdOpt Terms of Use

Recent claims have caused confusion about EdOpt’s work and mission, and especially its terms of use. As a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping families explore education alternatives in New Hampshire, we want to clarify the facts.

EdOpt follows terms of use.

EdOpt uses a variety of tools, including AI-supported web searches, to gather publicly available information about education alternatives in New Hampshire. All information that we didn’t create ourselves can be found in multiple public places online, and we always follow each site’s terms of use.

EdOpt has not reproduced on either our initial or updated site any information that is copyrighted, trademarked, or placed behind a firewall.

Nonprofit integrity is maintained.

EdOpt does not make money from the information on our site, nor from the providers listed. Our work is fully consistent with our nonprofit status and mission.

We strive for collaboration.

We believe New Hampshire families are best served when organizations work together. EdOpt actively encourages families to use Granite State Home Educators, Upper Valley Homeschoolers, and other sites to take advantage of their services. We invite any homeschool group, homeschool activity, or education provider that is not already on our site to submit your information so families can find you.

Our commitment to families is paramount.

EdOpt remains focused on helping families discover and access the full range of education options available in New Hampshire. We are committed to serving with honesty, transparency, and respect.

    Jody served on the Croydon School Board from 2010-2023. During this time, she shepherded a bill through the legislature that clarifies the law to allow private schools to be included in town tuitioning agreements, completed the withdrawal from an AREA agreement, and oversaw the separation of Croydon from SAU43 (with Newport) and started their own, very small, SAU99.

    Jody has written research papers about how New Hampshire uses tax dollars for private schools and on how town tuitioning works in New Hampshire and New England. She has delivered presentations about town tuitioning and school choice around the state.

    Recently retired from her profession as a learning scientist, Dr. Underwood conducted design, development, and research around the use of technology for learning and assessment.

    She and her husband moved to New Hampshire in 2007, where they live on a large off-the-grid property with their dog.
