Transparency matters. When significant changes to staffing and curriculum are discussed without prior agenda notice, residents lose their ability to participate meaningfully in the process. #Hollis #Brookline #SAU41 https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sau41/coop-school-board/2026-06-17/

Longer-form draft.
At the June 17 Hollis/Brookline School Board meeting, several significant decisions were made that lacked prior public notice via the official agenda. Most notably, the Board appointed three members—Holly Deurloo Babcock, Tom Solon, and Robert Mann—to the HEA Negotiation Team. Because this was not an agenda item, residents were not alerted that these appointments would be decided, limiting the opportunity for public input on the team's composition prior to labor negotiations. Additionally, the Board moved forward with discussions regarding elective consolidation. Principal Hess has been tasked with determining which specific electives will be merged into a new Senior Literature Seminar. This is a substantive change to the Program of Studies that affects student opportunities, yet the specific details of which programs are being consolidated were not part of the pre-meeting notice. While the Board did address the outcry regarding music program staffing cuts by forming a Visual and Performing Arts Committee, that committee is not expected to present a vision until early 2027. For families currently impacted by the loss of music and band positions, the immediate concern remains unaddressed. We are watching to ensure that future decisions regarding curriculum and personnel are clearly posted in advance. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sau41/coop-school-board/2026-06-17/ #MeetingWatch #Sau41NH
