Participants
Members, staff, presenters and public speakers on the recording. Names follow the project's 2015-2023 roster and the meeting's attribution report; there are no minutes to check spellings against.
| Name | Role | Participation |
|---|
| Frank Sprague | Chair, Claremont School Board | Opens the hearing and reads counsel's prepared statement on the notice defects (0:00:12 to 0:02:01); runs the regular agenda; asks Ben Nester for a Medicaid update (1:22:55); frames the meal debt as a receivable to be written off and budgeted (1:31:26). |
| Rebecca Zullo | Vice Chair (attribution medium) | The dialogue file gives her the opening “All here.” (0:20:42), the agenda second (0:21:52) and several exchanges with the public hearing speakers (0:08:28, 0:16:41). The attribution report rests the label on roll order and phrasing; the alternative it names is Heather Whitney. |
| Jason Benware | Member | Moves the agenda, both sets of minutes, the four policies and the hearing-results motion (0:21:47, 0:22:21, 0:22:38, 1:12:08, 1:13:32); proposes the conditional approval pending counsel (1:14:31); volunteers to answer questions online (1:20:04); argues that unpaid meal debt exists everywhere (1:28:19); moves to adjourn (1:34:23). |
| Carolyn Towle | Member | Seconds both sets of minutes and the hearing-results motion (0:22:28, 0:22:46, 1:13:39); urges the hearing speaker to attend December 12 (0:16:18); designated to answer online with Benware (1:20:05); has raised meal debt with the New Hampshire School Boards Association (1:31:01). |
| Heather Whitney | Member | Answers the roll, transcribed “Hello, Whitney.” / Yes. (0:20:49); seconds the policies (1:12:41); asks for an update from the food service consultant and warns of “a culture of not paying” (1:27:45, 1:29:26). |
| Rob Lovett Jr. | Member | Called in the roll (0:20:43). The dialogue file gives him the remarks on robocalls (1:16:02); Towle's “at Rob said” (1:17:10) supports the label, which the attribution report still marks uncertain. A member who relays “Jason had some questions” at the hearing (0:07:05) is unidentified; the report names Lovett as one possibility. |
| Michael Petrin | Member (SAU 6 Board chair) | Answers the roll (0:20:48); no other remarks are attributed to him. |
| Michael Tempesta | Superintendent, SAU 6 | Superintendent's report on special education outreach and site visits (1:08:39); invites the hearing speaker into alternative-program planning (0:17:22); calls the meal debt an Unfunded mandate. (1:31:57). |
| Mary Woodman | School district clerk / recording secretary | Calls the roll (0:20:43); explains that the December 12 meeting will use the November 21 checklist (0:17:56); asked whether she recorded the hearing-results motion, answers “Not at all. Wordy.” (1:21:07). |
| Dr. Alex Herzog | Director, Sugar River Valley Regional Technical Center (SRVRTC) | Self-identified (0:33:19); annual report on enrollment, programs, Perkins funding, the Newport partnership and renovation options (0:33:19 to 0:59:54). |
| Ben Nester | Director of Special Education (attribution medium) | Asks that the Medicaid update wait until rules due to be finalized February 27 (1:23:07). The chair earlier says a presenter transcribed Dessner is not present and strikes item g (0:20:56); whether that refers to Nester is unresolved. |
| Tyler Sullivan | Student representative, Stevens High School senior (spelling unverified; transcribed “Tala Sullivan”) | Student report on school events (0:23:25); asks whether the outside food service costs more than an in-house program (1:32:01). |
| Patrick Adrian | Public hearing speaker, Ward 1 (former board member) | Speaks “partly as a reporter, partly as a parent, and partly as a taxpayer” (0:03:00); reads RSA 197:3-a's hearing-notice rule and objects that tonight's posting does not say what the hearing is about (0:04:35). |
| Cassie Burke | Public hearing speaker and citizens' comments, Ward 3 (spelling unverified; transcribed “Kasey Burke”) | A parent of three children with IEPs; learned of the second vote only that day (0:11:50) and asks for direct notice to special education families (0:14:26); in citizens' comments asks what the SRVRTC programs offer students on IEPs (1:06:17). |
| Matt Upton | District counsel (named; not present) | The chair reads his prepared statement on the posting defects (0:00:12). |
| Unidentified | Various | 140 of 596 dialogue rows (23.5%), including the staff member who explains where notices are posted and which statute governs the cure meeting (1:17:27, 1:18:17), and the person addressed as “Mr. McGowan” (1:00:51). |
Order of business (reconstructed)
No agenda survives. The chair refers to lettered items (“striking g from our general business”); the list below is reconstructed from his transitions.
| Taken up | Item | What was said and done |
|---|
| 0:00:12 | Public hearing on the $650,000 special education vote | The chair reads counsel's statement: the November 6 hearing notice was not posted on the SAU 6 website and the November 21 meeting notice went up six days ahead rather than seven; on the Department of Revenue Administration's advice a second special district meeting under RSA 40:16 is set for December 12, and “tonight's public hearing is required by law.” Two speakers. Closed at 0:20:01. |
| 0:20:01 | Pledge of Allegiance; roll call | Roll by the clerk (0:20:43); see Board composition. |
| 0:20:56 | Agenda changes | Item g struck because the presenter is absent; a vote on the hearing results added under discussion/action. Benware: “I'd like to make a motion to approve the agenda, as amended.” Second, Zullo (0:21:52); voice vote, no opposition heard (0:21:53). |
| 0:21:53 | Minutes of November 20 and November 21, 2019 | November 20 board meeting: motion Benware, second Towle (0:22:28), voice vote (0:22:35). November 21 special district meeting: Benware, “I move that we approve the meeting minutes of the special district meeting on November 21st, 2019.” Second Towle (0:22:46); voice vote (0:22:48). |
| 0:22:48 | Student representative's report | School events at Bluff, Disnard, Claremont Middle School and Stevens; a video of another district's snow-day announcement. |
| 0:32:02 | Presentation: Sugar River Valley Regional Technical Center | Dr. Herzog's year in review; questions from Benware, an unidentified member, Zullo and the chair. No action. |

| 1:08:27 | Superintendent's report | Special education outreach and program visits; community committees. No action. |
| 1:11:47 | Policy approval (four policies) | Benware moves the policies, transcribed “JLFGBEEBBD and GCO”; the chair notes “we have to go to third” reading. Second, Whitney (1:12:41). The chair calls “All those in favor? Opposed?” (1:12:42); no ayes or tally are audible. The policy codes are garbled and cannot be confirmed without minutes. |
| 1:13:13 | Results of the public hearing to the December 12 special district meeting | Benware: “I move that we move the results of the public hearing to the special district meeting on the 12th of December.” Second, Towle (1:13:39). After discussion the chair restates it as “contingent upon learning from our attorney that we have, the concerns of Patrick Adrian are unfounded in this particular context.” (1:20:28). Voice vote, no opposition heard (1:21:01). |
| 1:21:09 | Future agenda items | Next meetings January 8 and January 22, 2020 (1:27:16); food service status, Medicaid (deferred to March), budget hearing and deliberative session dates, a Capital Improvement Committee presentation. |

Discussion timeline
Times are taken from the dialogue transcript (Dialogue/10638 SchoolBoard120419.mp4.CSV) and link into the recording. Quotations are as transcribed; bracketed words are corrections, with the transcript's wording kept where the correction changes sense.
Chronological topics with the most concrete material first.
| Time | Topic | What was said | Flags |
|---|
| 0:00:12 | Counsel's statement on the November notices | Read by the chair: “pursuant to RSA 197 colon 3-A, the Claremont School District can hold a special district meeting for the purposes of addressing changes in education funding from the state.” The statute requires website posting seven days ahead, but the SAU page “technically is not the district's website. Accordingly, no notice of the public hearing held on November 6th, 2019 was posted on the Saw six website.” (0:00:56) The meeting notice “was posted on the Saw website only six days prior to the meeting, rather than the seven days required by the statute.” DRA “recommended that the district hold another special district meeting pursuant to RSA 40 colon 16 to cure any procedural defect defects.” (0:01:29) “While the school board still questions whether there is a legal requirement for the district to post notices on the website. It also felt that using this process would ensure transparency and preserve the integrity of the vote.” (0:02:01) | MED POS |
| 0:02:54 | Patrick Adrian: “We just did it wrong again” | He reads RSA 197:3-a's hearing rule (14 days' notice, two public places, one the district website) and says he learned what the hearing was about only by asking Benware. “We just did it wrong again, because the special meeting is next week.” (0:04:25) “the posting for this public meeting doesn't say what it's about.” (0:04:35) “And nobody on the school board noticed it again.” (0:06:21) “If the district can't follow the rules that the school board can't follow the rules, how can you expect the kids to?” (0:06:43) | OBS |
| 0:07:05 | What will December 12 look like? | An unidentified member relays questions: will it be “a complete rehash of what we already did” or only a ratifying vote, and will the public be able to ask questions rather than only speak for or against? Zullo: ask questions any time, “don't ask your questions on Facebook.” (0:08:28) The chair: “My impression is it's it's essentially going to be 2.0, as you've suggested.” (0:09:02) | |
| 0:11:11 | Cassie Burke: special education families not told | A Ward 3 parent of three children with IEPs: “I only found out today that there was going to be another vote on the 12th” (0:11:50); she had read the November notice as a vote for selected people: “It didn't look like I could come in and place a vote.” (0:13:23) She ties the trust fund to in-district programs that could avoid out-of-district placement (0:12:33) and asks for letters home: “you'll send a letter for a football fundraiser, you'll send a letter for other things. But there's no communication within the school to the parents who really need it.” (0:14:26) The chair: “You do have to be a registered voter to vote.” (0:14:49) | OBS |
| 0:17:56 | Same checklist as November 21 | The clerk: “The checklist that we use to check the people in for the meeting next week are the same ones that we had for this past one. If you were not registered voter at that time, you will not be able to vote in the second meeting.” | OBS |
| 0:19:37 | Plain language in notices | An unidentified member: the “Language that we use is very confusing. When we post it.” The chair: “And that use words like pursuant.” Zullo: “Like if I have to get a dictionary to understand what we're doing right, then we should probably change it.” (0:19:55) | |
| 0:23:25 | Student report | Bluff's annual feast, holiday concerts, the spelling bee, a Stevens craft fair and police-versus-fire basketball game, and a student voice conference. | |
| 0:33:19 | SRVRTC: enrollment and programs | Herzog: “In 1819 last year we had 58 rolled in CTE programs.” and “So this year we have 82 enrolled in our CTE programs.” (0:46:17), with “about 516 enrolled in our intro courses” (0:47:01). Plumbing graduates “make 40 to $50,000 with overtime their first year out of high school” (0:36:28). The Kiwanis, whose limit was $250, “came back with a check for $3,000” for the middle-school summer program (0:41:19). Proposals: a one-year accounting program with six SNHU credits, a finance program, teacher preparation and criminal justice (0:48:02). | |
| 0:50:21 | CTE space and the preschool | Herzog cites the building statute, transcribed “RSA 188 E to colon 311” [RSA 188-E:3, II]: the renovated facility becomes district property “for the use by the Career Technical Education Center exclusively.” “we've gotten a couple of letters about encroachment, about how the preschool is kind of taking over areas where we've lost programs or we're not keeping programs.” (0:50:46) Perkins: “this year we got 53,000 and we split that amount with Newport. Now they have eight programs to our five and a half.” (0:51:03) | OBS |
| 0:55:03 | Newport partnership and renovation | The partnership agreement with Newport “expires in 2022”; transportation and mismatched calendars are the standing problems (0:55:50). Renovation: “usually the state provides 75% of the funding for that, and then 25% comes from the local community.” A single new regional center, possibly at River Valley Community College, has been pitched; “it might be using charter school monies, which is kind of a contentious issue.” (0:57:02) | |
| 1:00:44 | Measuring outcomes | An unidentified member: “Do you have any mechanisms in place to track after graduation? Job placement percentage and income.” Herzog: “You know we don't. That's something we should look at.” (1:00:51) Programs are steered by industry advisory committees (1:01:44). The chair asks why there is no computer networking program (1:04:14). | |
| 1:06:17 | Citizens' comments: programs for students on IEPs | Burke: “I have three children, and none of them would use any of those programs or qualify for any of those programs.” (1:07:38) | |
| 1:08:39 | Superintendent's report | Tempesta: outreach to program sites began on the snow day with Ben Nester; in his former role “it was kind of a regulation that you had to have a parent advisory council to special ed. That's not necessarily a thing in this region” (1:09:07). “We have 14 committees and subgroups. We're putting a strategic plan together.” (1:10:20) | |
| 1:13:51 | Relying on counsel | The chair, answering Adrian: “we operate under the presumption that if we're being advised about warning times and policy and procedure, that we are on firm legal ground.” Benware: “I would suggest we approve this, temporarily until conditionally, until we've verified with our legal counsel that we are indeed where we need to be.” (1:14:31) “Because we pay our legal counsel a fair amount of money to know this stuff.” (1:14:49) Zullo: “But on the flip side, I could have looked it up to and tried to figure it out myself.” (1:15:00) | OBS |
| 1:15:06 | How to reach the public | Benware asks whether anyone is responsible for communication. Lovett (as labeled): “I would rather saturate the market and have people come complain that we're telling them too much than continue hearing these complaints, and we're not hearing enough.” (1:16:23) A staff member: notices go on the website and are “posted in two places, the very front door and the door to the main office.” (1:17:27) | |
| 1:18:17 | Which statute governs the cure meeting | An unidentified staff member: “From my understanding, this meeting is RSA 4416 [40:16] so it's not the same meeting, right?” and “the guidelines that he was reading the seven days, the 14 days, all that stuff is from the RSA 197 colon three, not from the RSA 40.” The chair: “But I would I would feel better if we checked with with Matt.” (1:19:02) | OBS POS |
| 1:19:45 | Answering questions online without a quorum | The chair: “We have to be careful that four of us don't respond.” “So who? Who could we designate who would like to be the designated?” (1:19:59) Benware and Towle volunteer; “And the rest of us stay away from it.” (1:20:12) | POS |
| 1:22:55 | Medicaid reimbursement | Nester (as labeled): “The new rules are going to be finalized, I think February 27th.” (1:23:07) The chair: earlier drafts threatened “a fairly substantial hit on us to the tune of three quarters of $1 million, potentially”, but revised language is “very favorable” (1:23:18, 1:23:53). Deferred to March. | |
| 1:24:42 | Budget calendar | Benware: “When are we going to set the dates for the public hearing, for our budget and for the, the deliberative session?” The board settles on meetings January 8 and 22 (1:27:16). | |
| 1:27:45 | Unpaid school-meal debt | Whitney: the food service consultant had “plans in place that were going to help to solve the problem”, but it has not improved. Benware: “where this law exists about, you know, feeding every kid, it's the same thing.” (1:28:19) Whitney: “Then we'll end up with a 40, $50,000, you know, instead of a 25, 35. In ten years, I think it'll be a culture of not paying.” (1:29:26) The chair: “Do we go over to a free and reduced for everyone program, or how do we build it into the budget? The challenge of having a debt is it has to be covered somewhere.” (1:30:27) and “We expect if we're not going to receive the receipt, well, we need to write it off and cover it.” (1:31:47) | OBS |
| 1:32:01 | Outside vendor or in-house? | The student representative asks whether the outside food service costs more. Zullo: “I don't think it was at the same amount.” before the vendor; Towle: “So that's an assumption, right?” (1:33:03) Benware: if a meal “costs you $1.12 to make a meal right, and you charge $2.14 or whatever it is”, an unpaid meal costs an in-house program less than it costs a district paying a vendor's price (1:33:07). | OBS |
Items flagged for review
These flags are a reviewer's aid, not findings of violation and not legal advice. Each one names the rule it rests on, as that rule read on December 4, 2019, or is labeled an observation where no verified rule applies.
MEDIUM By the district's own account, the November 6 hearing and November 21 meeting notices did not meet RSA 197:3-a's website rule
The chair read district counsel's statement into the record (0:00:12 to 0:02:01). The November 21 special district meeting was held under RSA 197:3-a, the single-session procedure for responding to a change in state education aid. Paragraph IV requires notice of the hearing's “time, place, and subject” in at least two public places “one of which shall be on the school district's website, if such exists, at least 7 days prior to the hearing”, and paragraph V requires the same for the meeting notice and warrant. By counsel's account the November 6 hearing notice was not posted on the SAU 6 website at all, and the meeting notice was posted there six days ahead, not seven. The Department of Revenue Administration recommended a second meeting under RSA 40:16 to cure the defect.
This page grades the point MEDIUM, not HIGH, for two reasons on the record. The statute's website requirement applies to “the school district's website, if such exists”, and counsel's position is that the SAU 6 page “technically is not the district's website”, so whether a binding deadline was missed is contested. The next evening the Claremont chair told the SAU 6 board that the Department of Revenue Administration took the opposite view, that the district had adopted the SAU 6 page as its own (see the SAU 6 Board, December 5, 2019 page). And the district chose to cure the defect rather than defend it (flag 6). What the record does establish is a process gap: notices for a $650,000 vote went out without the district being sure which website rule applied, and two residents at tonight's hearing say they learned of the vote late or misread who could vote (0:03:43, 0:11:50).
Sources: RSA 197:3-a, IV and V (2019 codification; hearing and meeting notices, website posting 7 days prior); RSA 40:16 (special meeting to cure defects in official-ballot subdivisions)
MEDIUM No agenda, packet or minutes for this meeting survive in any district share
MAP.md records no Drive material for this meeting: neither the Claremont nor the SAU 6 share holds a folder older than 2022, and the Meeting Minutes share starts at 2023. RSA 91-A:2, II, in the text in force since January 1, 2019, requires minutes that include the names of members, persons appearing, the names of the members who made or seconded each motion, and a brief description of the subject matter and final decisions, open to public inspection within five business days. This meeting carried five motions, a public hearing and a contested posting question; without minutes, the policy codes (transcribed “JLFGBEEBBD and GCO”), the outcome of the policy vote (1:12:42, no tally audible) and the exact wording of the conditional hearing-results motion cannot be confirmed.
This page applies the MEDIUM limb of the project's severity rule because the record mitigates the gap: the board approved its November 20 and November 21 minutes tonight (0:22:21, 0:22:38) and the chair asked the clerk whether she had recorded the hearing-results motion (1:21:02), so minutes were being kept. What is missing is any public copy now.
Sources: RSA 91-A:2, II (2019 codification; source note ends 2018, 244:1, eff. Jan. 1, 2019: minutes content incl. movers and seconders, five business days)
OBSERVATION Tonight's hearing notice did not state its subject, and the board's answer to that complaint was left conditional on counsel
Patrick Adrian said the posting for tonight's hearing “doesn't say what it's about” (0:04:35), and Cassie Burke said she found out about the second vote that day from a community Facebook group (0:11:50). The cure procedure in RSA 31:5-b, II requires a public hearing not less than seven calendar days before the cure meeting “at which the reasons for the special town meeting shall be explained” (¶II(c)), and requires the municipality to “comply with all statutory notice and procedural requirements for holding special town meetings” (¶II(d)). The ordinary meeting-notice rule, RSA 91-A:2, II, requires notice of time and place only. No provision verified for this page expressly requires a 31:5-b hearing notice to state its subject, so this is an observation, not a finding.
Two further points sit in the same area. A staff member told the board the 7-day and 14-day rules Adrian read come from RSA 197:3-a, “not from the RSA 40” (1:18:17). That is right as to the 14-day hearing interval, which 31:5-b replaces with seven days, but ¶II(d) carries the special-meeting notice requirements into the cure, so the website question does not simply fall away. The clerk said the December 12 meeting would use the November 21 checklist (0:17:56); RSA 197:3-a, VI requires “The most recently updated checklist”, and whether the supervisors of the checklist updated it in between is not in this record. The board's response was to approve moving the hearing results forward “contingent upon learning from our attorney” that Adrian's concerns were unfounded (1:20:28); the attorney's answer is not on this recording.
Sources: RSA 31:5-b, II(b)-(e) (2019 codification; cure meeting not less than 21 days after the original vote, hearing not less than 7 days before it, notice and procedure); RSA 197:3-a, IV-VI (2019 codification); RSA 91-A:2, II (2019 codification; notice of time and place)
OBSERVATION Unpaid school-meal debt is growing, and the board has no plan yet for covering it
Whitney put the debt at “a 25, 35” [thousand dollars] now and warned of $40,000 to $50,000 if payment comes to be seen as optional (1:29:26); the chair called it a receivable that will have to be written off and built into next year's budget (1:31:47). Benware traced the problem to “this law” about feeding every child (1:28:19). The state law in force is RSA 189:11-a, VIII: a meal payment policy “shall ensure that all students have access to a healthy school lunch” and that “no student will be subject to different treatment from the standard school lunch meal or school cafeteria procedures”. So the district may not withhold or substitute meals to collect the debt. Federal guidance, USDA memo SP 23-2017, adds that bad debt may not be paid from the nonprofit school food service account and “must be restored using non-Federal funds”, which is what the chair's write-off plan implies.
The figures are members' estimates stated aloud; no ledger or vendor report is in the record. Benware's point that an outside vendor's price makes each unpaid meal cost more than an in-house program would (1:33:07) is arithmetic offered in discussion, not a finding about the contract.

OBSERVATION The SRVRTC director reports state letters about the preschool “encroachment” on CTE space
Dr. Herzog told the board that the state has sent “a couple of letters about encroachment” as the preschool takes over areas left by closed CTE programs (0:50:46), and cited the building statute (0:50:21). RSA 188-E:3, II provides that a constructed or renovated CTE facility becomes district property “for use by the career and technical education center exclusively”. The board did not discuss the letters or the preschool's use of the space. The letters are not in the record, so their terms, and whether any condition attaches to the state's 75% renovation share that Herzog described (0:56:28), cannot be checked here.
Sources: RSA 188-E:3, II (2019 codification; CTE facility for exclusive CTE use)
POSITIVE The board cured a contested defect rather than defend it, on a timetable that meets RSA 31:5-b
Counsel's statement says the board “still questions whether there is a legal requirement” to post on the website but chose the cure process to “ensure transparency and preserve the integrity of the vote” (0:02:01). The timetable fits RSA 31:5-b, II: the cure meeting on December 12 is 21 calendar days after the November 21 vote, the minimum ¶II(b) allows, and tonight's hearing is eight days before it, against ¶II(c)'s seven. As ¶II(c) requires, the reasons were explained at the hearing, by reading counsel's statement aloud before taking comment, and the chair took the hearing before the regular agenda so that comment was heard first. Re-running a $650,000 vote when the board disputes that the defect exists is a choice above the legal minimum.

POSITIVE The board designated two members to answer public questions online, so that a quorum would not deliberate on social media
On a seven-member board four members are a quorum. The chair warned “We have to be careful that four of us don't respond” to residents' questions on the community Facebook group (1:19:45), and the board named Benware and Towle as the only responders, “And the rest of us stay away from it.” (1:20:12). RSA 91-A:2-a requires public bodies to deliberate only in meetings, and its ¶II provides that communications outside a meeting, “including, but not limited to, sequential communications among members”, “shall not be used to circumvent the spirit and purpose” of the chapter. Setting a rule in public before the question arose goes beyond what the statute requires.
