Finally, the district's fiscal status was reviewed. While operating in a 'default budget,' the district projects a $1M fund balance, even as high substitute teacher costs continue to impact the budget due to staffing vacancies.

Longer-form draft.

Important updates from the April 21, 2026, Mascenic Regional School Board meeting regarding services and policies for the upcoming school year.

Of immediate concern to working parents is the announcement that the district will discontinue its before and after school care program. The district cited capacity management issues as the reason the program cannot continue next year. While the district said it would share information on alternative care options, parents are now left to navigate this sudden gap in childcare.

Additionally, the board moved forward with a conceptual plan for a new middle school sports transportation policy. The district indicated that safety concerns are driving the need to change how students get to athletic events, which may change how much support the district provides for extracurricular travel. 

On the fiscal side, the Business Administrator reported that despite operating under a 'default budget,' the district projects a fund balance of approximately $1 million. However, the district is facing rising costs for substitute teachers due to ongoing vacancies and FMLA needs. We will continue to monitor how these budget and policy shifts impact student outcomes and family stability. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/mascenic-regional/school-board/2026-04-21/ #MeetingWatch #MascenicRegionalNH
