Longer-form draft.
At the June 3rd Claremont School Board meeting, significant tensions surfaced regarding transparency and the board's internal access to information. A community member requested a comprehensive list of all Right to Know requests—including subjects and costs—to investigate whether communication gaps are driving the need for formal requests. This sparked a debate within the board, with the Chair advocating for information to be funneled through their office, while other members asserted their right to individual access. One member noted that without direct access to information, they cannot make sound decisions. Beyond the debate over information access, two other issues will directly impact Claremont families: 1. School Lunch Prices: The board voted 6-1 to increase meal prices. High school meals will rise to $4.00, and middle/elementary school meals will rise to $3.75. 2. Staffing Crisis: Due to significant vacancies in the middle school, the district is discussing 'Plan B'—hiring individuals through alternative certification pathways to ensure classrooms are covered. As these decisions unfold, residents should continue to monitor how the board balances administrative control with the public's right to know. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/claremont/school-board/2026-06-03/ #MeetingWatch #ClaremontNH
