Longer-form draft.

At the June 9 Exeter School Board meeting, several key decisions were made that directly impact student safety, family budgets, and district policy.

On the fiscal front, the board approved the use of up to $75,000 from capital reserve funds to install emergency blue light/strobe alert systems at both Main Street and Lincoln Street schools. This move sparked debate among board members regarding the management of limited funds and whether the district should be prioritizing these specific security upgrades over other long-term capital needs.

Regarding student nutrition, the board took two significant steps: they rejected recommended price increases for school breakfasts, lunches, and milk to shield families from higher costs, and they voted to include second helpings in the paid lunch option. The goal is to ensure equitable access for hungry students, though the board will be monitoring food waste levels moving forward.

Finally, the board held a first reading of a new Generative AI policy. The discussion highlighted a divide, with several members expressing concern that the current draft is too 'pro-AI' and lacks necessary protections for student privacy and the preservation of original thought. The policy is expected to return for more scrutiny in the fall. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/exeter/school-board/2026-06-09/ #MeetingWatch #ExeterNH
