| Name | Role | Participation |
|---|
| Arlene Hawkins | Chair (Claremont member); policy committee chair | Presides. Announces the superintendent's appointment, "which was effective in June" (0:02:40). Reports the four policies, including counsel's weighted-vote sentence for BBBH-S (0:38:35) and the coming review of sealed minutes (0:45:03). Presents the Claremont subcommittee's Unity report (0:52:01), then apologizes: "I should have shared it with you prior to going out in the packet." (1:21:22). Asks for an audit timeline (1:25:12). |
| Rocco Ruggeri | Vice chair (Unity member) | Moves the agenda and both sets of minutes (0:01:18, 0:01:56, 0:02:12). Asks that DIE's references be placed at the bottom (0:42:29). On the Unity report: "I think you guys missed the point." (0:59:42); "That doesn't mean that you treat us like second class citizens" (1:02:53). Gives the Unity planning-committee update (1:26:14). |
| Kelly Simpson | Member (Unity) | Seconds the minutes and three policy motions. Asks why Unity's response time is a week when staff have a 48-hour standard (0:58:51). "I'm very upset." (1:10:01). Says Unity has historically paid "about $60,000 more than this current year" (1:18:19). Raises stale documents on the district websites (1:28:26). |
| Heather Whitney | Member (Claremont) | Seconds the agenda (0:01:21). Moves BBBH-S and DIE; the draft minutes also credit her with the BEDG and ADC motions. Explains the Claremont report was shared out of "utter transparency" (1:13:18). |
| Frank Sprague | Member (Claremont); chair, superintendent evaluation subcommittee | Asks that BBBH-S E.3 read "salaries and benefits" (0:40:18). Presents the superintendent's goals and progress-monitoring plan (0:46:56). |
| Candace Crawford | Member (Claremont) | Asks how the SAU ended FY24 positive "in spite of the various buyouts" (0:17:09) and about business-office contracted services (0:17:48). Says the report's title "is misleading" (1:08:59). Moves adjournment (1:31:09). The draft minutes name her seconding BEDG. |
| Bonnie Miles | Member (Claremont) | Asks whether anyone from Unity sat on the subcommittee (1:05:54): "if it's an essay [SAU] six ad hoc committee, someone from unity should have been a part of this." (1:08:23). Seconds adjournment (1:31:15). |
| Michael Petrin | Member (Claremont) | Abstains on the retreat minutes (0:02:33); asks whether the radios reach police and fire (0:09:31) and about the unspent maintenance telephone line (0:21:39). |

| Time | Topic | What was said | Flags |
|---|
| 0:01:27 | Two old sets of minutes | "You have in your packet two sets of minutes. One is the last essay you needing [SAU meeting] of April 11th". Ruggeri: "I think we should do them individually." (0:01:52). | MEDIUM |
| 0:02:40 | Superintendent's appointment | "I would like to formally announce the appointment of Superintendent Christopher Pratt as superintendent of saw six, which was effective in June. Congratulations, Mr. Pratt." | OBS |
| 0:08:02 | Radios and SAU office security | "School safety is always one of my first priorities and concerns." District radios bought with grant money; at the SAU office "all the doors are installed with locks and buzzer systems" (0:09:58). | |
| 0:11:09 | Parent survey and Parent Square | One question: "how satisfied are you with the overall quality of education your child is receiving"; results next month. Parent Square is "a new communication platform" (0:12:24). | |
| 0:15:59 | FY24 close | One purchase order rolled, the locks, "a total of $3,000"; "the auditors for 10,000" kept as an encumbrance because "that's something we're going to spend. I just don't know when." (0:16:20). "So the bottom line as of right now is $49,169.60." | OBS POSITIVE |
| 0:17:09 | Why positive despite buyouts | Henry: the SAU was over "Budgeted in health insurance"; a special education position "budgeted in the saw but paid in Claremont"; "there was 46,000 sitting in that line alone" (0:17:41). Business-office contracted services over "by about 25,000" (0:17:48) for "Municipal Services. That was Dave. Jack." (0:18:01). | POSITIVE |
| 0:23:51 | Raises discussed ahead of the budget | Henry asks to "discuss pay ahead of time this year"; she will model 1%, 2% (0:24:21). Whitney: "would that be a discussion at a non public" (0:24:34); Hawkins: "because we're discussing individual salaries" (0:24:38). The spreadsheet "will not be a public document" (0:25:42). | |
| 0:26:16 | Health plan changed | Pratt: the SAU office pool's rates had diverged from the teachers' and "by law, we have to provide equitable" (0:26:50). Henry: Health Trust's comparable plan is "$120 less a month just for the single" (0:27:24); "Our insurance is up by I think it's $11,000 right now." (0:28:54). | OBS |
| 0:31:21 | An apology | Pratt: "in Vermont the superintendent has the authority to we're going to change plans as long as there's no hike in the budget"; "that wasn't my intentions to to be sneaky in any way." (0:31:41). Henry: "I used to have the authority as well to change plans." (0:32:03). | OBS |
| 0:36:43 | A June meeting that was not held | Hawkins: "Things were in our packets from the June meeting that we did not hold." | MEDIUM |
| 0:35:37 | BEDG, meeting minutes | Second read; amended to add "Every effort will be made to limit the recommended duration of students [sealed minutes] to less than ten years." Adopted (0:37:58). | POSITIVE |
| 0:38:35 | BBBH-S and the weighted vote | "I spoke with legal counsel regarding voting. In order for us to be in compliance with RSA, he recommended we add the phrase unless a weighted vote is requested by a board member". New I.5.c: agenda items to the superintendent "seven days prior to the day of the meeting" (0:39:32). | MEDIUM |
| 0:40:18 | "Salaries and benefits" | Sprague: "I've actually looked at the RSA and it says fixes salaries and benefits in the area." Hawkins: "You're absolutely right." Adopted on first reading as amended (0:41:22). | MEDIUM |
| 0:41:22 | DIE, audits | "We have to have this annual audit, and it will be presented to the board at a public meeting." (0:41:53). Adopted on first reading. | MEDIUM |
| 0:45:03 | Sealed minutes to be reviewed | "we are going to review the log of nonpublic minutes that have been sealed, and we will come forward to the full board with the recommendation of those minutes that have been sealed that we feel should be unsealed." | POSITIVE |
| 0:47:17 | Superintendent's goals | Sprague wants no member to answer "I didn't observe that" (0:49:22); progress meetings and an artifact spreadsheet (0:48:55). | |
| 0:50:00 | Meeting every other month | "we will not meet in June, July or August unless something comes up and we need to call a meeting." (0:50:55). Exhibit G's June entry reads "No June meeting; bulleted items to be finalized through electronic means", listing "Review of Superintendent Evaluation Results". | MEDIUM |
| 0:52:01 | The Unity report presented | Hawkins: "At the April Claremont board meeting, the board created an exploratory ad hoc subcommittee" (0:52:28); the report says August 7. "the portions are determined by student population and property values per district." (0:53:08). Claremont gets a 48-hour response, Unity a week (0:54:45). | OBS |
| 0:59:42 | Unity objects | Ruggeri: "It's a little disappointing to read this report." "So based on your report, you suggest that if if we want better performance, we need to pay more. And I find that a little insulting" (1:00:22); "This is absolutely no reflection on the current superintendent" (1:04:01). | OBS |
| 1:05:54 | Who sat on the committee | Miles asks whether it included anyone from Unity. Whitney: it served "Claremont's understanding of the impact" (1:06:58). Crawford: "So the title the title is misleading. Yes it is." (1:09:14). | OBS |
| 1:10:01 | "I'm very upset" | Simpson: "you just helped us with our upcoming public meetings." Pratt: "there's too many moving parts right now" (1:10:44). | OBS |
| 1:16:45 | Report to be retitled | "Claremont School board exploratory ad hoc subcommittee impact report." (1:17:45). Simpson: historically Unity contributes "about $60,000 more than this current year" (1:18:19). | |
| 1:25:12 | Audit timeline | "I've asked what the administration to provide a timeline for audit reporting by the auditors, the SA six audits." Henry: "I've already spoken with them. Yes." (1:25:28). | OBS |
| 1:26:14 | Unity planning committee | Ruggeri: data gathering complete on "creating its own single district saw"; Unity's share should return to "9.6 9.8%" after its revaluation (1:26:43); town presentation "on the 26th", report to the state in October, "brought to the town for vote in March" (1:27:46). | |
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 September 12, 2024, or is labeled an observation where no verified rule applies. SAU 6 policies are cited as the board's own rules, not as law.
MEDIUM This meeting's minutes reached the public share eight weeks late, and it approved two sets that had waited five and three and a half months
RSA 91-A:2, II requires minutes "promptly recorded and open to public inspection not more than 5 business days after the meeting", which made September 19, 2024 the deadline for this meeting. The draft minutes' Drive file was created on November 8, 2024 in the next meeting's packet folder (its modified date is November 7), about seven weeks after the deadline. The two sets approved this night (0:01:56, 0:02:12) first appear in this meeting's packet folder, created September 11: the April 11, 2024 draft five months after its meeting and the May 29, 2024 retreat draft three and a half months after. This is graded MEDIUM, not HIGH, under the project's severity rule: the minutes exist, and Drive dates show when the public could read them online, not whether a draft could be inspected at the SAU office earlier. Policy BEDG, adopted this night, itself says drafts of public sessions "must be available within 5 business days of the meeting". Part of the lag follows the board's own schedule: with no June, July or August meeting there was no packet to carry the minutes.
Sources: RSA 91-A:2, II (2024 codification; 5 business days); 9.12.24 draft minutes (Drive createdTime 2024-11-08); 4.11.24 draft minutes (createdTime 2024-09-11); 5.29.24 retreat draft minutes (createdTime 2024-09-11); Policy BEDG, §C.3
MEDIUM The revised BBBH-S lets a single member demand a weighted vote, which the statute reserves to a majority
The chair said counsel recommended the new §D sentence "In order for us to be in compliance with RSA" (0:38:35): "Unless a weighted vote is requested by a board member, every school district board member shall be entitled to one (1) vote" (Exhibit C). RSA 194-C:8 says "Weighted votes shall only be used upon the demand of a majority of the members of any board present and voting in the school administrative unit." A policy that lets one member trigger a weighted vote does not match that text, and the statute governs. The same adoption (0:40:44, 0:41:22) added "and benefits" to the board's power to fix salaries in §E.3 on Sprague's reading that the RSA "says fixes salaries and benefits" (0:40:18); RSA 194-C:5, III has the board "fix the salaries of all school administrative unit personnel" and "apportion the expense of the salaries and benefits among the several districts", so benefits appear in the apportionment clause, not the fixing clause. Both changes were adopted on a first reading, and the policy can still be corrected before it settles.
Sources: Exhibit C, policy BBBH-S revision; RSA 194-C:8 (weighted votes on demand of a majority); RSA 194-C:5, III (salaries fixed; salaries and benefits apportioned)
MEDIUM Two policies adopted this night rest on statutes that do not say what the policies say
Policy DIE, adopted on first reading (0:42:11, 0:42:59), says it is established under "RSA 197:25 and RSA 671:5" and that the audit report shall be "filed with the New Hampshire Department of Education as required by RSA 671:5". RSA 671:5 provides for electing district auditors and contains no Department of Education filing requirement; RSA 197:25 is a school-district fallback for locally elected auditors when a district has not hired one under RSA 21-J:19, not an SAU provision. The project's research located no statute requiring an SAU to be audited annually before July 1, 2026; RSA 194-C:4, II(a) lists audits among the services an SAU provides. Policy BBBH-S §E, readopted with amendments the same night, still says the board provides superintendent services "in accordance with RSA 194:4", which is the district notes-and-borrowing section. Ruggeri's amendment to DIE concerned where its references sit (0:42:29), not what they say. A policy that misstates its legal basis misleads every reader who relies on it.
Sources: Exhibit D, policy DIE draft; RSA 671:5 (district auditors elected); RSA 197:25 (district auditors, fallback); RSA 194:4 (notes of districts); RSA 194-C:4, II(a) (audits among SAU services)
MEDIUM The board's working calendar plans to finish June business "through electronic means", including the superintendent's evaluation results
Exhibit G, the pre-populated agenda the chair presented (0:50:00), reads under June: "NOTE: No June meeting; bulleted items to be finalized through electronic means", and the first bullet is "Review of Superintendent Evaluation Results". The chair said "I don't think we need to vote on it. This is just for our own working efficiency." (0:51:29). RSA 91-A:2-a, I requires a public body to deliberate only in meetings held under RSA 91-A:2, II or III, and ¶II says communications outside a meeting "shall not be used to circumvent the spirit and purpose of this chapter". Finalizing board business by e-mail is the practice that provision addresses. The June 2024 meeting itself was not held (0:36:43). This is graded MEDIUM because it is a plan in a board document, not a decision shown to have been taken outside a meeting; the board did not adopt the document by vote.
Sources: Exhibit G, proposed recurring agenda items 8.25.24; RSA 91-A:2-a, I and II (2008, 303:4; deliberation only in meetings)
OBSERVATION No SAU audit was paid for in FY24, and the board asked only now for a timeline
Exhibit A shows "Business Office Auditors" budgeted at $10,000 with $0.00 spent and the full $10,000 encumbered; Henry kept it because "that's something we're going to spend. I just don't know when." (0:16:20). The chair put a "timeline for audit reporting by the auditors, the SA six audits" on the November agenda (1:25:12). The board's own policy BBBH-S §J says "The SAU Board shall authorize an audit of the SAU accounts annually", and DIE, adopted this night, says "We have to have this annual audit" (0:41:53). No located statute required an SAU audit on this date (RSA 194-C:4, II(a) lists audits as an SAU service; the 2026 law that brings SAUs under an audit mandate took effect July 1, 2026), so this is an observation measured against the board's own policies.
Sources: Exhibit A, financial statement 6-30-2024; policy BBBH-S §J; RSA 194-C:4, II(a); 2026 N.H. Laws ch. 272 (SB 586), approved July 2, 2026, eff. July 1, 2026, RSA 198:4-d, VI (SAUs audited)
OBSERVATION SAU staff health plans were changed before the board was told, and the board learned it with an apology
The superintendent and business administrator moved SAU office staff to Health Trust plans and then apologized for doing so without the board: "assumptions get us in trouble" (0:31:21); "I used to have the authority as well to change plans." (0:32:03). The SAU board fixes the salaries of SAU personnel under RSA 194-C:5, III, and its policy §E.3 as amended this night would have it fix "salary and benefits" (0:41:16). The record does not show a board vote on the change at this or any earlier meeting. Pratt's statement that "by law, we have to provide equitable" coverage between groups (0:26:50) is his characterization; this page has not verified a rule to that effect. The change was disclosed in public and costed (0:28:54), so this is an observation about who decides employee benefits, not a finding.
Sources: RSA 194-C:5, III; policy BBBH-S §E.3
OBSERVATION The superintendent's appointment was announced three months after it took effect; no document in this record shows the vote
Agenda item III reads "Appointment of Superintendent Christopher Pratt", and the chair announced it as an appointment "which was effective in June" (0:02:40). There was no motion. The April 11 draft minutes in this packet still list "Christopher Pratt, Interim Superintendent" and record a nonpublic session that night under RSA 91-A:3, II(a) and (b), sealed "for six months to allow time for the negotiations to finish"; what was decided in it is not public. The May 29 retreat minutes record no appointment. BBBH-S §E.1 makes hiring a superintendent a board duty. Where and when the board voted is not established by any document this page could read, so this is an observation; the sealed April 11 minutes, due for review under RSA 91-A:3, would likely settle it.
Sources: SAU 6 agenda 9.12.24, item III; 4.11.24 draft minutes, item IV; policy BBBH-S §E.1
OBSERVATION A Claremont-only report titled as an SAU 6 document set slower service standards for Unity, and its origin date is given three ways
Exhibit H, headed "SAU6 Exploratory Ad Hoc Sub-Committee Report", lists two members, the superintendent and Hawkins, and proposes that Unity's communications be answered "no later than one week" against 48 hours for Claremont (0:54:45). Ruggeri read it as "if if we want better performance, we need to pay more" (1:00:22); Miles asked why no Unity member sat on it (1:05:54); Crawford agreed "the title is misleading" (1:09:14), and the board agreed to retitle it (1:17:45). The version filed here corrects the September 4 draft on one point: it now says the percentages "are based on student population and property values per district", nearer to RSA 194-C:9, I (½ average membership, ½ equalized valuation). The report says the Claremont board created the committee "at its August 7th meeting"; the chair said "At the April Claremont board meeting" (0:52:28); on September 4 she placed it at the beginning of August. Whitney and Hawkins described the sharing as transparency and the chair apologized for not giving Unity notice (1:21:22). No vote was taken and no rule governs the content, so this is an observation.
Sources: Exhibit H, report of 12 September 2024; RSA 194-C:9, I
POSITIVE A minutes policy with a schedule for reviewing sealed minutes, and the review started
Policy BEDG, adopted on second reading (0:37:45, 0:37:58), requires the movers and seconders the statute requires, sets 72-hour availability for unsealed nonpublic drafts, asks that seals be limited "to less than ten years", and adopts a review procedure under RSA 91-A:3, IV, which since October 3, 2023 requires sealed minutes to be reviewed within ten years or become public without further action. The chair announced that the policy committee would review the sealed-minutes log on October 2 and recommend which minutes to unseal (0:45:03). Acting on the review before any deadline arrives exceeds the statutory minimum.
Sources: Exhibit B, policy BEDG; RSA 91-A:3, IV (review of sealed minutes; 2023, 189:1, eff. Oct. 3, 2023)
POSITIVE A line-by-line year-end report that reconciles to the cent, and a budget calendar set in September
Exhibit A gives the full FY24 ledger: budget $2,396,000.00, spent $2,333,830.40, balance $62,169.60. Less the $3,000 lock order and the $10,000 auditors' encumbrance, that is exactly the $49,169.60 Henry stated (0:16:20), and she explained the largest variances when asked, including Superintendent's Office salaries over budget and health insurance under (0:17:18). The budget calendar fixes the November 7 materials date, the November 14 meeting and the December 12 public hearing (0:33:08); RSA 194-C:9, I requires only that the budget be adopted at a meeting before January 1, with no public hearing, so the planned hearing exceeds the minimum.
