Participants
Everyone heard or named on the recording. Names and wards follow the district's minutes, which list floor speakers in speaking order; where the dialogue file's label differs, the label is given in parentheses and the method footer explains the match. Identifications made by matching the minutes' order to the recording are marked "per minutes order".
| Name | Role | Participation |
|---|
| Charlene Lovett | Presiding officer (acting moderator) | Reviews the rules: "Debate will then be limited to two minutes per speaker." (0:03:37); takes the two minutes motions (0:05:34, 0:06:22), recognizes speakers, runs both secret ballots and announces "So six no, 53 yeses. So the amendment passes." (1:47:28); closes the meeting (2:27:19). One question about the tech center's growth that the dialogue file gives her (0:57:49) is a voter's (see Pam Ruest). |
| Frank Sprague | School board chair | Introduces the board (0:01:56); presents Articles 4, 5 and 6, giving tax impacts of "$0.21 on the thousand" (2:20:09), "$0.04 on 1000" (2:23:25) and "$0.07 on the thousand" (2:25:54). The minutes credit him with moving the question to the second secret ballot. Transcribed "Chairman. French fries", "Mr. Greg", "Chair Greg" and "Sheriff Greg". |
| Heather Whitney | School board vice chair | Recognized on Article 1 (0:06:46); her remarks are not audible. The Second. on the February 4, 2021 minutes is credited on tape to "Vice chairwoman" (0:06:22). |

The minutes name her as seconder of the second amendment. |
| Jason Benware | Voter, Ward 1 (former board member) | Moves both sets of 2021 minutes (0:05:43, 0:06:22); urges people to vote because of the bargaining articles (0:38:26); asks whether added money will be spent as voters intend: "If it's not, then it's pointless to put it back in."

| Matt Bean | Voter, Ward 1; president of the paraprofessional association (dialogue label: McKean) | "I'm awake until after midnight, going line by line through this budget." and lists line reductions (0:55:31); later argues the "unjust property tax system" cannot be fixed by cutting the schools (1:25:26, per minutes order); thanks the board as "the president of the paraprofessional association here in Claremont" (2:21:05). Name from the minutes; the dialogue label is an ASR rendering. |
| Pam Ruest | Voter (ward not recorded) | Per minutes order, asks "what the growth at the Texan has been" over the director's tenure (0:57:49); the dialogue file labels this passage Charlene Lovett. |
| Scott Pope | Voter, Ward 2; tech-center teacher | Per minutes order (unlabeled in the dialogue file): "we've had a full time director for CTE as long as I can remember" (0:59:41); later, "I have an engineering class that may not be part of those numbers" and introductory classes are not reported as program enrollment (1:21:52). |
| Mimi Rhines | Voter, Ward 1 | Per minutes order (unlabeled): asks whether the whole board or only the budget committee decides, and whether that vote would be public (1:03:42, 1:04:21); concern for four district-wide positions being cut (1:04:29). |
| Derek Ferland | Voter, Ward 3 (dialogue label: Derek Bergman) | "jeez, you know, I cut this board twice and it's still too short." (1:11:52); "I think this current budget is short sighted." (1:13:17); supports the guidance amendment, citing graduation rates (1:55:39).

The "will of the people" remarks at 2:01:19 may be Gary Merchant's (the minutes summarize them under his name). |
| Melissa Small | SAU administrative assistant | Thanked for organizing the meeting (0:02:48); author of the minutes. |

Discussion timeline
Times are taken from the dialogue transcript (Dialogue/12204 SchoolBoardDeliberative020922.mp4.CSV) and link into the recording.
Chronological topics. Quotations are as transcribed; bracketed words are corrections.
| Time | Topic | What was said | Flags |
|---|
| 0:01:56 | Introductions | The chair introduces the board, the clerk "and our acting tonight, moderator Charlene Lovett". How she came to preside is not on the recording, which begins after the call to order. | MED |
| 0:05:08 | 2021 minutes | "the motion to approve the minutes of February 1st has been moved and seconded" (0:05:48); then "We have a motion to approve the last of the 2021 deliberative Session meeting held February 4th, 2021." (0:06:22). | MED |
| 0:09:22 | Budget presentation | Seaman: debt service down $10,994; Bluff down $134,554 (a teaching position); the tech center down $181,000 in four parts: the vacant nurse position, the 0.5 guidance counselor, the vacant accounting position and the director reduced by 50% (0:12:48 to 0:13:45); district-wide down about $300,000 (0:14:18). Total "reduction $541,581 1.43%" (0:16:32). | |
| 0:17:03 | Revenue and tax rate | Adequacy grants up about $1 million; the district assessment of $16,305,917 is "down by $732,000" (0:20:13); local rate $21.62 plus state $1.23 "gives us the total tax rate of $22.85" against $24.53 adopted last year: "We're seeing a reduction of $1.68." (0:21:52). Rates are estimates on the current assessed valuation. | |
| 0:21:57 | Default budget | Seaman: last year's budget less one-time expenditures; "We include any reductions that are included in this year's budget." (0:22:17); with no growth and no one-time items, "the default budget calculates that it can be the same as what the proposed budget is." (0:22:47). | OBS |
| 0:25:01 | Crawford's questions | Graduation rate "79%, compared to a rate of 91.8% for all of New Hampshire" (her figures, attributed to U.S. News); "why is the Claremont School Board recommending a 2023 budget that is the same amount as the default budget" (0:26:28). Seaman: the budget "doesn't need more money, that needs a different use of the money that we currently have" (0:30:28), with CARES money funding teachers and tutoring. Tempesta: "Now they've changed the rules in the default budget sort of moves with the regular budget." (0:34:23). Seaman: a yes vote "It's an affirmative vote for a continuation of the initiative." (0:37:04). | OBS |
| 0:38:26 | Why vote | Benware: the bargaining articles mean "there are things that are affected by showing up to vote" (0:38:50). | |
| 0:40:50 | Tech center priorities | A voter (probably Gary Merchant, per the minutes) says the budget shows the center "gets cut". Petrin (per the minutes): a 0.5 director fits next year; "This is a one year budget right now for next year." (0:42:57). Andy Lafreniere for the CDA asks for a full-time director (0:44:37). | |
| 0:48:32 | Reductions and the default | Seaman: "if you are making any reductions in the proposed budget, those reductions have to carry into the default budget." Merchant: "that logic doesn't make sense to me" (0:49:23). Seaman: "There's confusion across the state on calculation of the default budget." (0:50:01). | OBS |
| 0:50:40 | Amendment 1: director | Damren moves "$61,973 to account" 100.35.2410.110 (0:52:07): cutting the director is "Counterproductive by cutting off the head" (0:53:16). Bean supports it and lists line reductions he found (0:55:31); "I'll sign a check right now." (0:57:07). No one speaks against when asked (0:57:49). | |
| 0:57:49 | Director history | Pam Ruest (per the minutes) asks about growth under a full-time director; Scott Pope (per the minutes): "we've had a full time director for CTE as long as I can remember" (0:59:41) and enrollment followed the number of programs (1:00:32). | |
| 1:01:53 | Can an amendment earmark? | Answer (counsel, per the minutes): the money "Gets added to the budget. And then the school board will decide whether it wants to put the money back in to restore a full time director" and "ultimately, that's a decision for the school board." (1:02:17). To Rhines: "It would actually be the end. The full school board." (1:04:10); "Any decision of the full school board would have to happen in public reaction." (1:04:25) [session]. | OBS |
| 1:05:28 | Will it be spent? | Benware: "However, there's nothing that makes them spend the money." (1:05:38); "If it's not, then it's pointless to put it back in." (1:06:53). Merchant asks for the position to be restored full time (1:08:51); the administration says it is speaking of positions, not people (1:10:28). | OBS |
| 1:11:52 | Voters for the amendment | Ferland: "I think this current budget is short sighted." (1:13:17). Miles: "This is really embarrassing" (1:14:43), reading the state's Perkins approval letter (1:15:38). Kyle Messier on the city's image (1:17:27). Gallagher: "If we vote and pass it and you don't execute that desire, everyone here will lose faith in all of you." (1:20:32). Pope on unreported introductory classes (1:21:52). David Messier on part-time work without benefits (1:23:34). Bean: "we have to operate under an unjust property tax system" (1:25:26). | |
| 1:26:48 | First secret ballot | The question is moved and seconded; "You're going to need five voters to sign." (1:27:08); signatures gathered; the moderator explains the ballot procedure (1:29:23). Result: "So six no, 53 yeses. So the amendment passes." (1:47:28). | POS |
| 1:48:11 | Connair | New Hampshire spends "the least amount on education by the state"; the constitutional language means "education isn't just a nice thing to have" (1:49:52). | |
| 1:52:07 | Amendment 2: guidance | Damren: "To add $87,290 to account" for a full-time guidance counselor at the center, bringing the total to $37,393,088. A voter asks whether the amendments change the default budget (1:54:05); the answer is not audible (the minutes record Sprague clarifying that they do not). Seaman: the position was shared with Unity, so the amendment is "increasing from the current 0.5 to a 1.0 guidance counselor for next year." (1:58:35). | |
| 1:59:04 | Transfers | Merchant: "Even though we put the money back, it doesn't mean you have to spend it." and asks whether the administration can move it to another line (1:59:31). Counsel: "It's a process for the school board to." transfer within the budget; "They hold a public hearing and" discuss the movement (2:00:19); on earmarking, "I'd have to do the research" (2:00:25). A voter: "please listen to the local people." (2:01:48). | OBS |
| 2:02:13 | Second secret ballot | Question moved (Sprague per the minutes); five signatures (2:02:39); result announced "So the amendment passed 48 to none." (2:15:28), which the minutes record as 48 yes, 9 no. | POS |
| 2:16:14 | Restrict reconsideration | Lovett Jr.: "I'd like to make a motion that we restrict reconsideration of war." [of Article 2]; voice vote, "There's a couple of oppositions" (2:16:39). The minutes instead record a motion "to approve Article 2, as amended". | MED |
| 2:16:45 | Bargaining articles | Articles 3 to 6 presented and passed on voice votes. Sprague presents three of them: "that's one of the benefits of of being retired" (2:22:18). | OBS |
Items flagged for review
These flags are a reviewer's aid, not findings of violation and not legal advice. A deliberative session is the first session of the annual school district meeting: the voters are the body, so school-board rules (public comment periods, nonpublic sessions, board quorum) do not apply. The governing law is RSA 40:13 and the provisions it incorporates, the statutes on district officers, and RSA 91-A as it reaches "any legislative body" of a school district. Each flag names the rule as it read on February 9, 2022, or is labeled an observation.
MEDIUM An acting moderator presided, and no record shows how she was chosen
The board chair introduces "our acting tonight, moderator Charlene Lovett" (0:01:56), and she presides throughout. The minutes call her "(moderator)" without saying how she came to preside. The district elects its moderator on the official ballot (Article 1 of this warrant). When the moderator is absent, RSA 197:20 has the district clerk "act as moderator of any meeting until a moderator pro tempore shall be chosen"; where the office is vacant, RSA 671:33, III has the clerk serve as moderator or appoint a moderator pro tempore. RSA 197:26 bars the school board from filling a moderator vacancy. The clerk, Mary Woodman, was present (0:01:56), but neither route appears in the minutes, and the recording begins after the call to order, so a choice made in the first minute would not be on tape. This page applies MEDIUM rather than the HIGH grade the project gave the same pattern at the 2024 session, because there the whole opening was on record and here it is not: the documents leave a gap rather than proving an irregularity. The district's Rules of Procedure sheet for this session, which might explain the arrangement, was not located.

July 1, 2021); RSA 197:26 (board fills vacancies "except that of moderator"); RSA 197:19 (district moderator has a town moderator's powers)
MEDIUM The minutes differ from the recording on three votes
(1) The recording shows two approvals of 2021 minutes, the February 1 session (seconded by a Ward 2 voter, 0:05:48) and the February 4 session (seconded by "Vice chairwoman", 0:06:22); both copies of the minutes record one motion, on the "2/4/2021" minutes, "seconded by Frank Sprague". (2) The minutes record a "Motion by Rob Lovett seconded by Steven Horsky to approve Article 2, as amended"; on the recording Lovett Jr. moves to "restrict reconsideration" of Article 2 (2:16:18), a different motion with a different effect under RSA 40:10, and it carried with audible opposition (2:16:39). The restriction itself is nowhere in the minutes. (3) The second ballot: the transcript renders the announcement "48 to none" (2:15:28) and the minutes give 48 yes, 9 no; the minutes are probably right (the announcement opens with a garbled reference to nine), but the record should not leave a reader to reconcile them. RSA 197:20 requires the clerk to "keep a true record of all the doings of each meeting", and RSA 91-A:2, II requires minutes to show the names of persons making and seconding motions. Both copies are "submitted by Melissa Small", the SAU administrative assistant, not the clerk.
Sources: RSA 197:20 (clerk keeps a true record); RSA 91-A:2, II (2019 codification; mover and seconder in minutes from 2018, 244:1, eff. Jan. 1, 2019); RSA 40:10 (restriction of reconsideration; 1996, 64:1); minutes, July 2022 copy; minutes, November 2022 copy
OBSERVATION What the voters' amendments bind: the board keeps transfer authority, and no hearing is required to use it
Voters were told, accurately, that money added to a line "Gets added to the budget" and that "ultimately, that's a decision for the school board" (1:02:17). Several voters said an amendment is pointless unless the money is spent as intended (1:05:38, 1:59:04). RSA 32:10 lets the governing body transfer an unexpended balance from one appropriation to another during the year, provided the total is not exceeded and records let any citizen trace the transfers; only special warrant articles and capital reserve appropriations are locked to their purpose. So the two amendments, which change the operating budget's line items, do not oblige the board to fill a full-time director or counselor position. Counsel also said that for a transfer the board would "hold a public hearing" (2:00:19); RSA 32:10 contains no hearing requirement, so any hearing would come from district practice or policy, not the statute. Whether the added money was in fact used for the two positions is a question for the FY2023 records.

OBSERVATION The default budget equals the proposed budget to the dollar; the explanation given is broader than the statute, and the default budget form was not located
The warrant sets both the operating budget and the default budget at $37,243,825. The business administrator explained that "We include any reductions that are included in this year's budget" (0:22:17) and that "if you are making any reductions in the proposed budget, those reductions have to carry into the default budget" (0:48:32). RSA 40:13, IX(b) defines the default budget as the prior year's operating-budget appropriations, adjusted for debt service, contracts and obligations previously incurred or mandated by law, and reduced by one-time expenditures "and by salaries and benefits of positions that have been eliminated in the proposed budget". Eliminated positions (such as the vacant nurse, guidance and accounting positions) therefore come out of the default; the statute does not say that every other reduction does. RSA 40:13, XI(a) requires a default budget form identifying each change by account code with reasons, which would show whether the two figures were built line by line. That form was not located. The warrant, which must be posted with the budgets "on or before the last Monday in January" (RSA 40:13, II-a), is signed January 31, 2022, the last Monday; its posting date is not in the record.
Sources: RSA 40:13, II-a, IX(b) and XI(a) (last amended 2019, 192:2, eff. July 10, 2019); 2022 CL Warrant.pdf
OBSERVATION Voice votes to move articles to the ballot have no legal effect, and the minutes present them as decisions
The moderator calls "All those in favor of the article as written" on Articles 1 and 3 to 6 (0:07:36, 2:18:25, 2:21:57, 2:24:27, 2:27:19), and the minutes record each as "Motion passed via voice vote". Under RSA 40:13, VI "All warrant articles shall be placed on the official ballot for a final vote, including warrant articles as amended by the first session", so these votes neither advance nor block anything. The practice is common and harmless, but a reader of the minutes could take an article that passed on February 9 to have been adopted; the binding votes were on the March 8 ballot.
Sources: RSA 40:13, IV and VI (first session explains, debates and may amend; all articles go to the ballot)
POSITIVE Both amendments were decided by secret ballot on written requests, counted at the meeting and announced with tallies
Before each vote the meeting was told "You're going to need five voters to sign." (1:27:08), signatures were collected, the moderator explained the procedure (1:29:23), ballots were cast at the front, counted, and the result announced with the numbers (1:47:28, 2:15:28); the minutes name the people who assisted with the count. RSA 40:4-a requires the moderator to conduct a vote by secret yes-no ballot when five voters present request it in writing before the vote, and RSA 40:13, IV makes that section govern the first session. The meeting followed the statute and gave voters exact tallies rather than a declared voice vote.
