A retired teacher advocated for the district to investigate purchasing a former state-owned trade school building. This represents a major capital expenditure and long-term debt discussion that would directly impact vocational training for students.

Rather than engaging with the substance of the $9M proposal, the board focused on procedural adherence. The Chair interrupted the speaker to enforce time limits, and no commitment was made to investigate the feasibility of the acquisition.

When residents bring forward high-stakes ideas like district infrastructure and large-scale financing, the board should provide more than just a clock. We need substantive engagement on the issues that shape our students' futures. #ExeterRegion... https://meetingwatch.org/nh/exeter-region-coop/school-board/2026-03-17/

Longer-form draft.
At the March 17 Exeter Region Cooperative School Board meeting, a significant community proposal regarding the district's future was met with procedural enforcement rather than substantive discussion. During the public input session, a retired teacher proposed that the district investigate the purchase of a former state-owned trade school building, currently listed for $9 million. While such an acquisition would involve significant long-term debt and financial planning, it presents a major opportunity to expand vocational and trade school opportunities for students in our district. However, the board did not engage with the merits of the proposal. Instead, the Chair focused on enforcing the three-minute time limit, and no commitment was made to investigate the costs, benefits, or feasibility of the purchase. As taxpayers and parents, we expect the board to move beyond procedural formalities when presented with significant ideas regarding district infrastructure and student outcomes. We need to know if the board is willing to look into long-term assets that could benefit our students' career readiness. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/exeter-region-coop/school-board/2026-03-17/ #MeetingWatch #ExeterRegionCoopNH
