First, the finances: The district received a 'disclaimer of opinion' for the 2022 and 2023 draft audits. This is due to core failures in the general ledger, un-reconciled bank accounts, and poor grant management. This is a major red flag for taxpayer oversight.

The Superintendent addressed these issues by calling them a 'crisis of district-wide leadership.' While a 9-domain 'recovery plan' was proposed, Board Member William Madden expressed skepticism, warning against falling back into 'business as usual.'

On top of financial instability, staffing remains a struggle. Maple school is still short four classroom teachers, and the district is increasingly relying on non-certified staff via 'statements of eligibility' to keep classrooms running. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/claremont/school-board/2026-07-21/

Longer-form draft.
The July 21, 2026, Claremont School Board meeting revealed significant concerns regarding the district's financial management and leadership. Most notably, the board reviewed draft audit reports for fiscal years 2022 and 2023 that resulted in a 'disclaimer of opinion.' This is a severe finding caused by core failures in the district's general ledger, un-reconciled bank accounts, and mismanagement of grants. Superintendent Dr. Broderick characterized these issues as a 'crisis of district-wide leadership and administration.' While the administration has proposed a nine-domain recovery plan to rebuild the district's operational foundation, some board members expressed skepticism. Board Member William Madden voiced concerns regarding the timeline and cautioned against a return to 'business as usual' or complacency. Beyond the budget, the district continues to face staffing challenges. At the meeting, it was reported that Maple school still requires four more classroom teachers, and the district continues to utilize 'statements of eligibility' to hire non-certified staff to fill critical roles. As these corrective actions and staffing needs unfold, residents should remain engaged with the upcoming board meetings and the auditor's visit on August 5th. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/claremont/school-board/2026-07-21/ #MeetingWatch #ClaremontNH
