Longer-form draft.
The Salem School Board met on July 14, 2026, to finalize several major items, most notably the conclusion of the $48.9 million Woodbury renovation project. According to the board summary, the project finished slightly under budget. While minor overages occurred in the furniture and equipment categories, these were managed through contingency funds. With approximately $8,000 remaining in the project budget, the board has authorized up to $6,000 to be spent on window tinting for the Woodbury gymnasium to address glare issues. In other business, the board held the first reading of a new 'Parental Bill of Rights' policy. This policy is being implemented to formalize state-mandated requirements, specifically regarding the process for parents to opt their children out of certain sections of health and sex education curriculum. This policy will return to the board for final action in the future. Stay tuned for updates as these policies and project completions move forward. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/salem/school-board/2026-07-14/ #MeetingWatch #SalemNH
