The easement requires a warrant article. This means Newport residents will have the final say on this land-use arrangement when they head to the polls in March. Stay tuned for more details as the warrant articles are released.

Transparency matters. While the board moved forward with the parking MOU, the ultimate decision rests with the taxpayers. Make sure you are informed before March. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/newport/school-board/2026-07-13/

Longer-form draft.
At the July 13 Newport School Board meeting, the board moved forward with a land-use arrangement involving Saint Patrick's Church. While the board authorized the Superintendent to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding parking, it is important for residents to note that the easement component of this agreement is not yet finalized. Because an easement involves long-term land use, it must be put to a vote via a warrant article in March. This means the community, not just the board, will ultimately decide on this arrangement. Other notable business at the meeting included the acceptance of a $15,000 anonymous donation to support FFA students traveling to a national convention in Indianapolis, and the approval of the sale of an old, non-drivable school bus for $750. As decisions regarding district property and significant donations are made, we will continue to monitor how these items impact Newport taxpayers and students. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/newport/school-board/2026-07-13/ #MeetingWatch #NewportNH
