Order of business (reconstructed)
No agenda survives. The chair refers to "an agenda in front of us" (0:31:11) and members work from a packet posted on the SAU website (0:50:11); the list below is reconstructed from the transitions on the recording.

Topics in recording order. Snippets expand on hover or keyboard focus.
| Time | Topic | What was said | Flags |
|---|
| 0:01:37 | Organizational meeting opened by the superintendent | Tempesta asks "I'd like to have a motion for the election of chair and vice chair." A voice vote is stopped by the assistant superintendent: "I think we have to do a roll call." Counsel: "Roll call. Mike. All of them." After an attendance roll the superintendent announces "So the chair is is Frank Sprague."; Benware objects that no nomination has been made (0:03:47). | POSITIVE |
| 0:03:58 | Chair and vice chair elected | Benware: "I'd like to nominate Frank Sprague for chair." Roll call, all yes (0:04:34 to 0:05:09). For vice chair, Benware nominates Zullo; Lovett: "I'd like to nominate Heather Whitney." Zullo: "I was going to nominate Heather." "I'm not really sure if I'm going to be running again next year." Roll call, all yes (0:07:05 to 0:07:27). | |
| 0:07:51 | Who is in the room | Towle: "we all have to, announce that we are meeting by ourselves." Counsel first says "I don't believe you have to do that anymore", then advises "just as a precaution, why doesn't everybody announce who's with them". Each participant does (0:09:44 to 0:10:59). | POSITIVE |
| 0:11:10 | Hearing on the library donation | Tempesta: "we have a donation from 8000 for $8,877.67 for the Stephens High School library from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation." Small: "I do see one phone call out there, but they are on mute." | POSITIVE |
| 0:12:40 | Trust-fund transfer explained (first pass) | Tempesta: the NECC autism program contract "is a 190 zero.", "a approximately 20,000 of other materials", two paraprofessionals, and "two additional school social workers, one at the elementary level and one at the middle school level level." "We only want to access 325,000, which is half of the money." Speech stops at 0:15:07. | |
| 0:19:41 | Audio failure; hearings re-opened | Sprague: "we are experiencing some technical difficulties with the audio for everyone". Counsel: "an alert that the community TV has just joined." Sprague: "I'm wondering if we should repeat the two, open the two public hearing agenda items back up, just in case." Counsel: "I think that would probably be smart." The library hearing is re-run (0:20:48): the chair notes "Given the size of the donation, it requires having a public hearing before the board can act on accepting that donation." | POSITIVE POSITIVE |
| 0:21:59 | Trust-fund transfer explained again | "we're proposing to move the sum of $325,000 to, the FY 21 budget from the Educational trust that was established back in the fall." The NECC contract with its teacher "is 190,000" plus "$20,000 for supplies and equipment"; the rest funds two social workers; Courtney Porter moves to the high school. "If we don't use all of that, we will give a complete accounting". | OBSERVATION POSITIVE |
| 0:25:39 | Public comment by telephone | Adrian: "when this money was appropriated, there was never any mention about social workers." "Is that an issue like where essentially you're using money for positions that was not part of the original description to the voters?" Tempesta: the autism program "is definitely what we presented to the, to the voters specifically"; "All we're really going to need is $60,000 for, for one social worker at the elementary"; the middle school position replaces a contracted social worker. Hearings closed (0:29:59). | OBSERVATION |
| 0:29:59 | Regular meeting; agenda by roll call | All seven present. A voice vote on the agenda is redone: "We have to do all every vote tonight has to be roll call." | POSITIVE |
| 0:32:50 | Minutes | Towle on the retreat minutes: "I never did I never did get back to Mary." Tabled 7-0. March 4 minutes approved with Zullo ("I abstained I wasn't there") and Whitney abstaining; Whitney answered the March 4 roll (March 4, 2020 page). | |
| 0:35:36 | Student representative report | The technical center cancels its summer camp; adult education continues; "remote learning is not easy, and it's not for everybody." Meals are available at all schools "from 9 to 12 every day." | |
| 0:43:20 | Superintendent's report | Remote operations and Chromebook distribution to bridge "the digital divide". The district "did officially join the Carnival lawsuit for school funding and equity" [ConVal, per the attribution report]. Breakdown of the transfer: "the contract was 190 and then 10,000 for equipment and furniture and other odds and ends. 152 paraprofessionals, 60,001 elementary social worker for 60,000." The middle school is a COVID-19 testing site with the National Guard (0:51:02). Hiring is ahead of schedule (0:54:30). | OBSERVATION |
| 0:55:26 | Questions: attendance, savings, Chromebooks, lawsuit | No attendance numbers yet (0:55:57). On closure savings, Seaman: "I really can't quantify it just yet." Chromebooks will stay with students (0:58:56). On the lawsuit, Tempesta: "there's no cost to us or anything like that. It's not going to hit the taxpayers." Whitney: "I guess I brought it up for transparency". | |
| 1:02:15 | Summer school; extended school year | Tempesta expects any summer work to be "more, more, virtual than, than anything". A male administrator: extended school year for special education will run remotely (1:07:12). | |
| 1:07:35 | Capital improvement committee | Towle asks for a remote committee session; the chair: remote meetings let others observe, "we wouldn't be in the danger of a quorum or something." | |
| 1:10:42 | Last day of school: the 990-hour calculation | Magoon: "the high school has 5.92 hours of instructional time a day." "And if I times that by 165.5 school days, that gives me 991.60 hours of construction time. And according to the state, we need 990." [5.92 x 165.5 = 979.76; the 167.5 days she gives next yields 991.6.] "we would be done school with a half day on June 5th." A Department of Education contact "approved" the method. | |
| 1:13:18 | Waiver debate | Zullo asks about waivers; Magoon: no waiver is needed because the district exceeds 990 hours (1:13:54). Zullo: "I would definitely be fine with ending school tomorrow." Benware: "I don't really feel the need to punish those who are excelling with it either." Lovett asks for data first (1:22:14); Magoon: a waiver request "would need to be in by Friday." Grade promotion: elementary and middle school students "will not be held back." | |
| 1:30:43 | Vote on the last day of school | The chair: "I'm not sure we need a vote, but I thought it was more of an executive decision." Magoon: a vote is needed "because the school calendar was voted by the school board." Towle: "Jason's got a motion." No motion text is heard. Roll call 5-2, Zullo and Lovett nay (1:31:52 to 1:32:20). | OBSERVATION |
| 1:32:28 | Suicide-prevention policies | Magoon: the policy is required because "Senate Bill 282 has said that we need to adopt this policy, adopt this policy by July 1st", with staff training "by April 1st of next school year." Moved from first to third and final read; 7-0 (1:34:52). | |
| 1:35:50 | Clerk's meeting pay | Seaman: the clerk "is currently paid $75. Per hour", a rate "set at $75.10 and a half years ago" [$75, ten and a half years ago]; he recommends "95 or to $100 for the meeting". Zullo: "Just tough when you say out loud, $95 an hour." The chair moves $85, Whitney seconds; fails 2-5 (1:42:28). Zullo asks for "a conversation about doing something special for her." | |
| 1:42:52 | Food service during the closure | Seaman: "We're doing about 500, a little bit more, both breakfast and lunch today, so close to 1000 meals per day." Under the state waiver all meals are reimbursed; April "reimbursements were actually $8,037 greater than what the cost was". Benware: "So we're making money giving free lunches." Seaman: reimbursement "for a lunch of $3.50 and for a breakfast of $2.23"; at the high school "maybe 200 meals that will do there out of the 600 plus kids." The contract with Abbey Group is a "break even contract"; the meal-debt collection issue remains (1:52:55). | |
| 1:58:51 | Audit update | Seaman: "Right now we are working with Nick on our fiscal 18 audit." The firm is remote and cannot pull invoices on site. "the 18 hour 19 needs to be completed by September 15th, and especially the single audit, which needs to be delivered to the federal clearinghouse on our on our federal grants." "which will be the first time that we will have met that in a number of years." | HIGH |
| 2:02:42 | Handbooks | Magoon: the handbooks came in earlier than usual at the board's request. The chair thanks administrators because last year the board got them "at about the same time that they would have been distributed". | |
| 2:06:07 | Teacher nominations | Tempesta nominates a guidance counselor and biology and English teachers for the high school (2:06:10); elected by roll call, 7-0. | |
| 2:08:31 | Library gift accepted; trust transfer approved | Benware moves "that we accept the donation of 88, 77, 67." [$8,877.67]; all aye. Whitney asks whether NECC paraprofessionals need bachelor's degrees; an administrator: "No, they don't have to have a bachelor's." Transfer moved by Whitney (2:11:40), amount supplied by Benware: "It's 325,000." Unanimous (2:13:03). | POSITIVE OBSERVATION |
| 2:13:07 | Vouchers during remote operation | Magoon: these are "the vouchers that you guys would normally sign at our meetings". Seaman: "maybe we just wait until we've got more normal times." "we will actually need to have two board members, I believe, sign". The chair will sign in person and Towle offers to sign; no vote designates the signers. | OBSERVATION |
| 2:15:21 | Future agenda items | Next meeting "on June 3rd"; retreat scheduling; the Abbey Group contract "That's up in June at the end of June."; graduation planned for June 11 (2:18:08). | |
| 2:20:18 | Staff appreciation; adjournment | Magoon marks teacher and staff appreciation week. Benware moves to adjourn, Lovett seconds; roll call (2:22:42). | |
Items flagged for review
These flags are a reviewer's aid, not findings of violation and not legal advice. Each names the rule it rests on, as that rule read on May 6, 2020, or is labeled an observation where no verified rule settles the point.
HIGH The FY2018 audit was still unfinished in May 2020, past the federal single-audit deadline, and the business administrator said the district had not met that deadline "in a number of years"
Seaman told the board "Right now we are working with Nick on our fiscal 18 audit." (1:58:51) and that the FY2019 single audit "needs to be delivered to the federal clearinghouse on our on our federal grants", adding that meeting the deadline "will be the first time that we will have met that in a number of years." (2:00:35). Under 2 CFR 200.501(a), an entity that "expends $750,000 or more during the non-Federal entity's fiscal year in Federal awards must have a single or program-specific audit conducted for that year", and under 200.512(a)(1) the audit and reporting package must be submitted "within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report(s), or nine months after the end of the audit period" (regulation text).
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 the nine-month date was March 31, 2019. OMB Memorandum M-20-17 (March 19, 2020), item 13, let entities that had not yet filed and had fiscal year-ends through June 30, 2020 delay submission "to six (6) months beyond the normal due date" (memo text); for FY2018 that is September 30, 2019, already past when the memo issued. On the administrator's own account the FY2018 audit was at least thirteen months overdue at this meeting, and the district had missed the deadline in earlier years.
Two cautions. The page assumes the FY2018 audit is a single audit; Seaman ties the single audit expressly to FY2019, and the district's federal spending (school meals, Title I, special education) makes FY2018 very likely to cross the $750,000 threshold, but the record here does not state it. And the delay was the district's and its auditor's together; Seaman says the district is pushing the firm. The audit firm is named only as Nick and "Platnick" in the transcript; the attribution report identifies it, as a hypothesis, as Plodzik & Sanderson.

MEDIUM No agenda, packet or minutes for this meeting survive in any district share
MAP.md records no Drive material for this meeting. The recording is the only public account of the officer elections, the $325,000 trust-fund transfer and the school-year vote. RSA 91-A:2, II (in force from January 1, 2019) requires minutes with "the names of members, persons appearing before the public bodies, and a brief description of the subject matter discussed and final decisions", the names of "the members who made or seconded each motion", and public inspection "not more than 5 business days after the meeting" (statute text).
MEDIUM, not HIGH, because the record mitigates the gap: the assistant superintendent says the meeting packet "is on the Saw website in the school board" (0:50:11), and the board approved these minutes with corrections on June 3, 2020 (June 3, 2020 page). The clerk was not heard at this remote meeting, so the minutes must have been drawn from the recording.
Sources: RSA 91-A:2, II (2019 codification; source note ends 2018, 244:1)
OBSERVATION A caller asked whether trust money could pay for social workers; the trust's stated purpose is not in the record, and the cost breakdown was given three different ways
RSA 198:20-c, I lets a district create expendable trust funds "for specific purposes" and provides that "Expenditure from such trust funds shall be made only for the purpose for which the trust fund was established" (statute text). Adrian asked whether the district was "using money for positions that was not part of the original description to the voters" (0:26:11). The superintendent answered that the autism program matches what voters were told and that only "$60,000 for, for one social worker at the elementary" is new (0:27:56), but he had described the social workers as serving "the entire school population at each level" (0:14:16). Whether that falls within the purpose voted in the fall of 2019 turns on the warrant article's wording, which this recording does not contain.
The figures also shift: "a 190 zero" contract with "approximately 20,000 of other materials" (0:13:08); then 190,000 plus "$20,000 for supplies and equipment" (0:23:01); then "10,000 for equipment and furniture" with paraprofessional and social-worker lines that do not sum cleanly to $325,000 as transcribed (0:47:52). The board approved $325,000 without a written breakdown on the record; the superintendent promised "a complete accounting" of any unused balance.
Sources: RSA 198:20-c, I-II (2019 codification; source note ends 2012, 219:2, 3)
OBSERVATION The school-year vote passed 5-2 on a motion whose wording is not on the recording, and the June 3 minutes had to be corrected to show it was not unanimous
The chair first doubted a vote was needed (1:31:03); the assistant superintendent said one was required because the board had voted the calendar (1:31:08). Towle then said "Jason's got a motion." (1:31:23) and the chair took a second and a roll call. No member states the motion, so the recording does not show what end date or terms were adopted beyond the half day on June 5 discussed before it. RSA 91-A:2, II requires the minutes to record final decisions and who moved and seconded (statute text).
On June 3 the chair corrected the draft minutes: the vote had been recorded as unanimous although two members voted no, and the last day was the fifth, not the sixth (June 3, 2020 page). The correction shows the minutes were checked; it also shows the draft departed from what happened on two points of this one decision.
Sources: RSA 91-A:2, II (2019 codification): final decisions; mover and seconder
OBSERVATION With the board meeting remotely, vouchers went unsigned and two signers were chosen without a vote
The assistant superintendent described "the vouchers that you guys would normally sign at our meetings" (2:13:37); the business administrator suggested "maybe we just wait until we've got more normal times" and said "we will actually need to have two board members, I believe, sign" (2:14:30). The chair and Towle agreed to sign in person. RSA 197:23-a, as in force in 2020, lets the treasurer pay out district money "only upon orders of the school board or upon orders of the 2 or more members of the school board empowered by the school board as a whole to authorize payments" (statute text).
No vote empowering particular members is taken at this meeting. A standing delegation may exist in policy or earlier minutes that are not available here; if it does not, a two-member signature would need a board vote. The record also does not show whether bills were paid while the vouchers waited.
Sources: RSA 197:23-a (2017 codification; source note ends 2015, 272:45; next amended 2021, 65:20-22)
POSITIVE Both statutory hearings were held before the board acted, and both were re-run when the broadcast feed came back
RSA 198:20-b, III(a) requires a prior public hearing for unanticipated funds of $5,000 or more, and RSA 198:20-c, II requires that "the school board shall hold a public hearing prior to the expenditure" from an expendable trust fund (statute text). The board heard the $8,877.67 gift and the $325,000 transfer before voting on either, took one telephone comment, and, after counsel reported "the community TV has just joined" (0:19:56), re-opened both hearings "just in case" (0:20:04). The chair stated the reason for the library hearing on the record (0:20:48).
Whether the seven-day newspaper notice each statute requires was published cannot be checked from the recording.
Sources: RSA 198:20-b, III (2019 codification); RSA 198:20-c, II (2019 codification)
POSITIVE The first remote meeting followed the remote-meeting rules the emergency order left in place
Emergency Order #12 (March 23, 2020) waived only RSA 91-A:2, III(b)'s physical quorum and III(c)'s audibility-at-a-location requirement, on condition that the body provide telephone access, notice of how to join, a way to report access problems, and adjournment if the public cannot get in (order text). The rest of RSA 91-A:2, III stayed in force, including III(c)'s duty for a remote member to "identify the persons present in the location from which the member is participating" and III(e): "All votes taken during such a meeting shall be by roll call vote." (statute text).
The record shows each in practice: a telephone line monitored for callers (0:12:04), a public commenter by phone (0:25:39), every participant stating who was with them after counsel's initial doubt (0:09:21), roll calls on every vote once the assistant superintendent and counsel stopped a voice vote (0:02:17, 0:32:12), and the hearings repeated when the CCTV feed returned. Whether notice of the access information was posted cannot be checked here.
