Discussion timeline
Times are taken from the dialogue transcript (Dialogue/16982 SchoolBoard111925.mp4.CSV) and link into the recording.
| Time | Topic | What was said | Flags |
| 0:01:15 | Soccer championship | "This season was not easy when financial difficulties hit our district. The team lost its funding and they could have given up. Instead, something remarkable happened. Our community stepped in." | |
| 0:09:36 | Minutes pulled | Hawkins: "That we move the approval of the minutes out of the consent agenda. Only because I haven't read them." "We got them very late and it's not a reflection on anyone because there have been many changes" (0:09:54). | MEDIUM |
| 0:10:40 | Public comment: Lavalette | Could not find signed ethics forms online; cites policy BCA item ten; "that led me to the minutes of the last meeting, when Heather had mentioned that she spoke with Frank, offhandedly suggested he filled a position that seems to be contrary to the policy BCA" (0:11:12); "I am going to be a candidate for school board elections come March." (0:12:59). | |
| 0:13:14 | Public comment: Damon | The HB 292 amendment's interest rate would be tied to a New York Federal Reserve Bank rate, "which as of yesterday was 3.88" (0:13:46); districts taking the loan would have to allow "any student in the district to take a voucher to attend a nonpublic school" (0:14:11). "Again, this is not a statute at this time." | |
| 0:18:04 | Chair on late postings | "We've been stumbling along, trying to get our agendas posted in a timely manner. And we do apologize if items are not posted as they should. We did lose our clerk to maternity leave". "We don't have access to the web." (0:18:34). | MEDIUM |
| 0:20:17 | Behavioral specialists | The Academic Resource Center and Restorative School Day programs were ESSER-funded; leaders "were instructed that funding from the general fund would not absorb those costs once Esser expired." The ARC lead "is neither a certified teacher or a pair of professional, and that salary is roughly 50,000" on a letter of agreement (0:20:50). Sprague asks about training (0:22:42). | |
| 0:27:43 | CMS staffing against Ed 306 | Music teacher resigned, position posted; health and wellness teacher was cut "and unfortunately that is legally required for the state" (0:28:23); computer science needed "to meet the requirements for Ed 306" (0:29:01); counselors "one and a half" (0:29:57); "There is a nurse position that's to be there, but we unfortunately do not have the nurse." (0:30:37). Hours: 945 for grades 1-6 and 990 for 7-12, "Our schedule accommodates those." (0:32:00). | OBSERVATION |
| 0:35:14 | Staff reductions | Kennedy: "So even though on paper there may look like there's some supports, it's still lacking in the day to day because they're already somewhere else." (0:38:02). The nurse post is under the teachers' agreement, which limits pay (0:38:21, 0:38:53). | OBSERVATION |
| 0:42:04 | Special-education programs | Early education program: "There's five pairs and those are 1 to 1" against six needed; "in their IPS [IEPs], those numbers are based on what's prescribed" (0:49:08); the grades 2-3 program: "we are one short" (0:50:21); Visions (grades 4-5) "does not have a teacher right now" (0:51:24); "Seven pairs. Four are filled." (0:51:59); "So for one to ones I believe we're missing three three pairs for that program." (0:52:13). | MEDIUM |
| 0:53:09 | Legislation; school status | A bill on "state receivership for schools. We may or may not have been the catalyst for that discussion". Maple Avenue and Disnard "are now listed as schools in good standing" (0:54:20); Bluff "was one of the lowest performing schools in the state, lowest 5%" (0:54:58). | |
| 0:58:47 | Finance update | "the tax rate has not yet been set." "our cash balance in the general ledger as of today is $307,000." (0:59:48). Deficit projection "adjusted down" to "1.7 million" (1:00:58); available appropriation "now, $5.5 million" (1:01:48); costs include "$5,300 for interest payments towards, the the $4 million loan that we, we borrowed from Claremont Savings Bank." (1:02:22). | POSITIVE |
| 1:03:04 | Budget-to-actual review | Crawford: "we actually got a month to date actual to budget report, which I appreciate." The budget still shows Bluff School (1:03:33); Angell: "we haven't transitioned some of these employees from bluff to the schools" (1:03:57). Contracted special-education services cost "almost $500,000" more (1:06:23); "special ed pears at Maple are 383,000 over" (1:06:35). | OBSERVATION POSITIVE |
| 1:10:48 | Athletics; pre-K | Coaches' stipends run through payroll and are reimbursed by the alumni association (1:11:32). Sprague: "where are the pre-K expenses?" (1:12:13); "There was almost 500,000 encumbered or allocated in the 265 budget for pre-K." (1:13:40). A pre-K report is promised. | |
| 1:15:11 | Program of studies | Career clusters "aligns the coursework to careers" (1:16:47); civics moved to freshman year so students have four years to pass the required test (1:23:27); the introduction calls Claremont a town, a point the draft minutes credit to Sprague ("Clarendon is a city, not a town", in a segment the dialogue file assigns to Herrington, 1:26:22); Whitney asks about the Holocaust and genocide requirement (1:37:35); vote planned for December (1:39:38). | |
| 1:43:37 | School psychology interns | McCloud: the district "had not, taken their educational identification numbers and entered them into the role of school psychologist. So that was just a clerical error." Whitney: "we had not been aware that these positions had been filled, by interns", and counsel "has confirmed that we are obligated to maintain the salaries as signed by the agreement." (1:44:36). "So I would never have agreed to appropriate $80,000 for an intern." (1:51:44). "the only way that we found discovered this was essentially by accident." (1:53:49). | MEDIUM |
| 1:52:15 | Stamped signatures; oversight | Kennedy: "I don't have a rubber stamp and I'm citing [signing] everything." (1:52:11). Angell: "in the signature side for the employer is kind of like a rubber stamp electronic." Lists of offers and acceptances to come to the board (1:52:46). | MEDIUM |
| 1:55:19 | NHSBA delegate assembly | NHSBA "opposes statement state mandated open enrollment" and supports "a simple majority to approve bonds intended for maintenance" (1:56:12). | |
| 1:57:57 | Truant officer | Kennedy: each absent day "is actually affecting our adequacy aid" (1:58:16). Angell: "$90,000 a year to pick up a homeless student" (2:01:15). Sprague asks for "data that showed the efficacy" (2:04:21). Maple: "I made 400 home visits." (2:06:25). | |
| 2:19:38 | Motion and vote | "I move that we reinstate the position of true wins [truant] officer as a hybrid position to include transportation under McKinney." Sprague: "It's going to fix little, I'm afraid, but it'll help some kids." (2:20:53). Whitney's friendly amendment refused (2:25:30); "All right. Motion passes." (2:26:42). Draft minutes: 4-2. | POSITIVE |
| 2:34:20 | Policy report | "I hope you had a chance to read through the policies. They were last minute because of the transition." Hawkins says she does not remember signing the ethics acknowledgment BCA-R; Sprague: "Yeah, I just did." (2:38:49). Recommendation to "do a first read and adopt the missing required policies" (2:39:18). | OBSERVATION |
| 2:41:42 | Policies adopted on first read | "I move that we have we adopt after first read policies." Adopted by voice, "Seeing no opposition policies adopted." (2:42:04). | OBSERVATION |
| 2:42:17 | JLCC head lice | Petrin disagrees with the change (2:43:12); Whitney recalls the board's earlier choice to depart from CDC guidance (2:46:31). Vote: Howard "Now I'm going to abstain."; chair: "One abstention. Policy warming [remains] as is." (2:50:11, 2:50:13). Draft minutes: 2-3-1. | POSITIVE |
| 2:50:37 | JLP parental notification | Whitney questions the paragraph letting the superintendent adopt a procedure to withhold information "if a reasonably prudent person would believe that such disclosure would result in abuse, abandonment, or neglect" (2:50:55). Hawkins: the policy rests on "a recent RSA" (2:51:38). "Policy adopted." (2:56:34); draft minutes: 5-1. | OBSERVATION |
| 2:56:45 | KFD and BBAA withdrawn | Petrin: AEDs should be usable by anyone (2:57:04); Angell asks to check with Primex (2:58:40); motion withdrawn (2:59:09). BBAA: members discuss speaking as private citizens online (3:00:51); withdrawn for a second read (3:04:19). | |
| 3:05:31 | Other business | The clerk is "currently only being paid for meetings"; the chair floats "maybe $100 a month" (3:06:05, 3:06:29). Angell: "We need to have a public hearing to receive a from a trust fund, $134,000." (3:08:56). Bluff for sports practice: "It is a hard no." (3:09:31). | |
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 November 19, 2025, or is labeled an observation where no verified rule applies.
MEDIUM One-to-one aides prescribed in IEPs were unfilled in three self-contained programs, and one program had no special educator
Student-services staff told the board that the one-to-one paraprofessional counts "are based on what's prescribed" in students' IEPs (0:49:08), and then that the early-education program had five of six, the grades 2-3 program was "one short" (0:50:21), and the grades 4-5 Visions program had no teacher and "Seven pairs. Four are filled." (0:51:24, 0:51:59). The middle-school Camp program had no special educator, with "specialized services" provided by another teacher (draft minutes; on tape from 0:42:04). Federal regulations require that "As soon as possible following development of the IEP, special education and related services are made available to the child in accordance with the child's IEP" (34 CFR 300.323(c)(2)). The district described active recruiting, contracted services and board-certified behavior analyst support, which may cover some of the gap; the record does not show whether each child's prescribed services were delivered. Graded MEDIUM as a probable compliance gap reported by the district itself. Student counts in these programs are omitted here.
Sources: 34 CFR 300.323(c)(2) (services made available in accordance with the IEP); 11.19.25 draft minutes (staffing summary)
MEDIUM Two school-psychology interns were employed at salaries the board says it never approved, and the district is bound to them
The chair said the board "had not been aware that these positions had been filled, by interns" and that counsel confirmed "we are obligated to maintain the salaries as signed by the agreement" (1:44:36); a health-benefit offering not in the agreements was also reported (1:45:08). She put the pay at about $80,000 ("So I would never have agreed to appropriate $80,000 for an intern.", 1:51:44) and said the board learned of it "essentially by accident" (1:53:49). She also raised contracts signed with a signature stamp; the business administrator said the employer signature in the system is "kind of like a rubber stamp electronic" (1:52:15). The board's adopted by-laws provide: "No Claremont School District employee shall begin employment without the approval of the CSB unless authorized by Section 5.04" (by-law 5.03); 5.04 covers temporary staff to fill vacancies between meetings, reported to the board at its next meeting. The record shows no board approval and no report. MEDIUM: a hiring-control failure against the board's own rule with a continuing cost. The fix the administration offered (monthly lists of offers and acceptances, 1:52:46) is noted.
Sources: Claremont School Board By-Laws, adopted June 5, 2024, rules 5.03 and 5.04; intern contracts linked from the agenda
MEDIUM Minutes of September 17 and October 1 reached the public share five to six weeks late, and approval of three sets was deferred again
RSA 91-A:2, II requires minutes to be "open to public inspection not more than 5 business days after the meeting". Drive metadata dates the first copy of the September 17 draft (08. draft CSB meeting minutes 9.17.25.pdf) to November 3, 2025, the 32nd business day after that meeting, and the October 1 draft in this packet to 8:29 p.m. on November 12, after the close of the 28th business day (counting Columbus Day and Veterans Day as holidays under RSA 288:1). Creation in Drive dates when the public could see a file there, not when it was written. At this meeting Hawkins removed all three sets of minutes because "We got them very late" (0:09:54). Graded MEDIUM, not HIGH, because the record mitigates it: the chair explained on tape that the clerk was on maternity leave and the board had no web access (0:18:04, 0:18:34), and the minutes exist. The November 5 minutes, by contrast, reached this packet on the fifth business day.
Sources: RSA 91-A:2, II (five business days); RSA 288:1 (legal holidays); 08. draft CSB meeting minutes 9.17.25.pdf; draft CSB Meeting Minutes 10.1.25.docx.pdf
MEDIUM The draft minutes give no actual start or end time
Since August 22, 2025, RSA 91-A:2, II has required minutes to include "the start time and end time of the meeting, and name of the person who produced the minutes." The draft minutes name their author but carry only the agenda's clock headings, ending "VI. 8:30 PM Adjournment" with the entry "Consent adjournment". The recording runs 3:10:02 from the call to order, so a meeting that began at 6:30 p.m. ended well after 8:30 p.m.; the 8:30 heading cannot be read as the end time. MEDIUM: a documentation gap under a three-month-old requirement, on minutes that are otherwise detailed.
Sources: RSA 91-A:2, II (as amended 2025, 112:1, eff. Aug. 22, 2025); 11.19.25 draft minutes
OBSERVATION Six policies were adopted at their first reading, though the board's policy-process policy calls for a second reading
The board adopted EFA, IMBA, DAFB, BCA and KFA together "after first read" (2:41:42, 2:42:04) and adopted the new JLP the same evening (2:56:34). Policy BGAA, which the October 15, 2025 draft minutes record the board adopting, provides that new policies and revisions receive a "first reading" and that "At the next Board meeting (or a later meeting if so agreed by the Board), the policy shall be placed on the agenda for a second (or additional) reading, and action"; on "matters of unusual or unexpected urgency" the board may waive the second meeting, and "the meeting minutes should reflect the nature of the circumstances warranting the suspension". The draft minutes record no urgency finding. Hawkins described the set as "missing required policies" and said the documents were "last minute" (2:34:20, 2:39:18). The BGAA text read here is the NHSBA sample filed in the October 15 packet, with blanks unfilled; the adopted wording was not located. A district policy is not statute, so this is an observation.
Sources: Policy BGAA, sections E.2, E.5 and G.2 (October 15, 2025 packet copy); 10.15.25 draft minutes (BGAA adopted)
OBSERVATION The manifest was deferred to the end of the meeting and not taken up on the recording
The chair said "We also have an approval of manifest that we will do this evening as well. At the end of the meeting." (0:10:02). The recording ends at the chair's adjournment (3:09:54) with no manifest item, and the draft minutes list "Approval of Manifest" with no action recorded. Under RSA 197:23-a the treasurer pays "only upon orders of the school board or upon orders of 2 or more members of the school board empowered by the school board as a whole to authorize payments", so a manifest signed by empowered members may have served; the record does not show which happened.
Sources: RSA 197:23-a (treasurer pays on orders of the board); 11.19.25 draft minutes
OBSERVATION The superintendent reported Claremont Middle School below Ed 306 in health education, music and computer science, and without a nurse
By the interim superintendent's own comparison, the health and wellness teacher was cut although "that is legally required for the state" and a substitute who "isn't necessarily, a certified teacher" covers it (0:28:23); music is vacant; computer science is needed "to meet the requirements for Ed 306" (0:29:01); instructional hours meet the 945 and 990 thresholds (0:32:00). This page has not verified the specific Ed 306 subsection for each subject, so it records the superintendent's account and cites the rule part. On the nurse: New Hampshire law lets a board provide school nurse services ("may provide school health services") rather than requiring a nurse, so the vacancy is not itself a breach; the immunization and examination duties RSA 200:38 assigns to the nurse go unheld while it lasts, which the superintendent described as other staff "having to assume the nurse responsibilities" (0:30:57).
Sources: Ed 306 (minimum standards for public school approval; Ed 306.15 hours); RSA 200:27 (board "may provide" school health services)
OBSERVATION Budget reports still charge closed Bluff School with staff who now work elsewhere
Crawford noted the budget report still carries Bluff School salary lines (1:03:33); Angell said "we haven't transitioned some of these employees from bluff to the schools" and is building a staffing map to move them "to the appropriate accounting category" (1:03:57); the Maple Avenue special-education aide line is "383,000 over" for the same reason (1:06:35). Location coding follows the NH Financial Accounting Handbook, which Rev 1102.03 ranks as other guidance, and the totals are unaffected, so this is an observation about the usefulness of the school-level figures until the recoding is done.
Sources: NH Financial Accounting Handbook for Local Education Agencies; N.H. Admin. Rules, Rev 1102.03 (GAAP hierarchy)
POSITIVE A month-to-date budget-to-actual report and concrete cash and deficit figures in public session
The board received a month-to-date actual-to-budget report, which Crawford said she could rely on (1:03:04), and the business administrator gave the public the general-ledger cash balance, the revised year-end deficit projection and the reasons for it, and the month's unbudgeted costs down to the loan interest (0:59:48 to 1:02:22). No statute requires a monthly budget-to-actual report to a school board; doing so in public goes beyond the minimum.
Sources: the recording at 0:58:47 to 1:06:35
POSITIVE The draft minutes record every divided vote by name
The truant-officer vote (4-2), the JLCC vote (2-3, Howard abstaining) and the JLP vote (5-1) were taken by voice, and the tape gives no names (2:26:42, 2:50:13, 2:56:34). The draft minutes list each member's vote on all three, along with movers and seconders. RSA 91-A:2, II requires movers and seconders, not individual votes on a voice vote.
