routine meeting observation
On March 11, 2026, the Exeter Select Board held a special meeting that lasted less than a minute before moving into a non-public session. Residents should know what topics trigger these immediate closures. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/exeter/select-board/2026-03-11/ #MeetingWatch #ExeterNH
noting the use of non-public session
The March 11 special Select Board meeting was brief: the Board called to order and immediately moved into a non-public session under RSA 91-A:32, II(a). Transparency matters—even in special sessions. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/exeter/select-board/2026-03-11/ #MeetingWatch #ExeterNH

The Exeter Select Board held a special meeting on March 11, 2026. However, there was almost no public business conducted before the Board moved into a non-public session. #MeetingWatch #ExeterNH
Within seconds of the meeting being called to order, the Board passed a unanimous motion to enter a non-public session under RSA 91-A:32, II(a).
While the Board has the legal right to discuss certain matters privately, residents deserve to know why special meetings are being called if the primary purpose is to move immediately behind closed doors. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/exeter/select-board/2026-03-11/
During the Exeter Select Board special meeting on March 11, 2026, the public portion of the meeting was extremely brief. Following the call to order and quorum verification, the Board moved immediately to enter a non-public session. The motion to enter the non-public session was passed unanimously under RSA 91-A:32, II(a). While the law allows for private sessions to discuss specific matters like personnel or legal issues, the brevity of this special meeting raises questions about how these sessions are being scheduled and communicated to the community. We encourage residents to stay engaged and monitor when special meetings are called, particularly when they serve primarily as a gateway to non-public discussions. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/exeter/select-board/2026-03-11/ #MeetingWatch #ExeterNH
