Longer-form draft.
At the May 5 Mascenic Regional School Board meeting, several significant decisions were made that directly impact district spending and contract adherence. Most notably, the board voted unanimously to waive the competitive bidding requirement for two special education service providers, Bloom Speech and Language Services and Huddle Up. While the administration argued that bypassing the bid process ensures continuity for students, it is a move that avoids the traditional competitive market for district contracts. There was also internal debate regarding the enforcement of employee contracts. A motion was made to reimburse an employee for a second professional development course, even though their contract explicitly limits reimbursement to one course. The board ultimately decided to table the motion, with members expressing concern that approving the request would set a precedent that undermines existing contractual agreements. As the board continues to navigate these issues—alongside discussions about new 'flexible pathways' for student learning—residents should stay engaged with how these decisions affect long-term fiscal responsibility and district policy. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/mascenic-regional/school-board/2026-05-05/ #MeetingWatch #MascenicRegionalNH
