During the Hollis School Board meeting on April 20, 2026, the committee addressed the sensitive issue of how student test scores are posted and shared with the public. This topic is critical for balancing community transparency with student privacy and data accuracy.

However, instead of moving forward with a policy, the committee chose to defer the decision until the Fall of 2026. The board is waiting on the SAU administration team to develop a new data dashboard, which they intend to use as the basis for their policy discussions.

While the board is also working through essential updates—including reviews of Pupil Safety and Violence Prevention (Policy JICK) and enrollment updates—the delay on test score transparency means residents will have to wait several more months to see what the official rules will be regarding public access to school performance data.

What does transparency look like for student data in Hollis? At the April 20 School Board meeting, a key question remained unanswered: how and when will student test scores be posted publicly? 🧵 #MeetingWatch #Sau41NH

Rather than establishing a policy now, the committee decided to defer the decision until Fall 2026. They are waiting for the SAU administration team to complete a new data dashboard to guide their decision.

This delay means the rules governing how school performance data is shared with the community will remain in limbo for several more months. Residents should watch for the dashboard's release this fall. #HollisNH #SAU41 https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sau41/hollis-school-board/2026-04-20/
