Longer-form draft.
At the May 21 Kearsarge Regional School Board meeting, residents faced significant hurdles when trying to engage with officials on critical issues. While the board addressed several administrative items, the interaction with the public was notably constrained. Community members raised urgent questions regarding middle school bullying and the justification for new administrative staffing to address student safety. Rather than providing direct answers or data during the session, the board administration was tasked with following up via email. This occurred alongside a reminder from the Chair that public comment is limited to 3 minutes and is not a Q&A session. Significant decisions were also made that impact the community. The board voted 5-1-1 to prioritize Kearsarge staff in the open-enrollment lottery, a policy that affects how students are distributed throughout the district. Additionally, as discussions regarding the potential closure of Sutton Central continue, residents expressed concerns about the economic and community impact of the proposed restructuring, though the board has deferred these discussions to a committee report. We will continue to monitor how these decisions—especially those involving student safety and school facilities—are implemented. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/kearsarge-regional/school-board/2026-05-21/ #MeetingWatch #KearsargeRegionalNH
