Misty Lowe, Massway principal, introduced the group and thanked the board for the opportunity. “I am beyond thrilled to introduce some extraordinary teachers as well as children to you,” she said. Teacher Beth Stacy said the project “highlights energy transfer, renewable energy, sustainable solutions, and thoughtful tiny home design.” Students demonstrated experiments and described design choices: Grayson explained wind turbine tests and said, “The wind energy turns the blades around a rotor that spins a generator,” and Katie described circuits: “All circuits need a power source, a conductor, and a load.”

The unit combined project‑based learning, interdisciplinary reading (including The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind), visits from outside experts and hands‑on technology. Staff cited visits from the New Hampshire Energy Education Project (NEEP/NEAP) and community experts including Matt O’Keefe (Unitel Energy Efficiency Program Manager) and Jeff Stacy (Mighty Roots Design and Building Company). Digital learning specialist Susan Leifer described student use of Makey Makey kits and Scratch to create functioning switches in the tiny‑house models.

Students and staff said the unit builds executive‑functioning skills, teamwork and real‑world math — teams created site plans requiring scale conversions and calculated area and perimeter for model rooms. The board and community were invited to view projects after the meeting; staff said students will also present at the New Hampshire School Administrators Association Innovations Conference in Concord on April 10 and display projects again at the district Sustainability Dinner in mid‑April.","Students from Massway Elementary presented energy, circuitry and tiny‑home design projects to the Oyster River School Board and will present their work at the New Hampshire School Administrators Association Innovations Conference and at a district sustainability dinner.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6080094,"Board hears $1.1 million preliminary surplus, warned federal and state funding bills could squeeze future budgets",883,3723000,4606000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2951896-794f97cf89ac2fc903438cdf1778dfae&start=3723&end=4606","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2951896-794f97cf89ac2fc903438cdf1778dfae/thumbnail_3723000.jpg","/articles/6080094/New-Hampshire/Board-hears-11-million-preliminary-surplus-warned-federal-and-state-funding-bills-could-squeeze-future-budgets","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6080094-dfd2bfdf99a0dda5946f1e6864047282/orig.mp4?Expires=1771019770&Signature=dQoKRL2xySf-QGJAp6Cdsps44yNkPKlII1GWvfj-bMcwED5OWALGrXp~MYeNNIwXueg4gGpKW48P40So8~SqqxoAEL0NxOagI0MZ5nK-q62g9hJ6DJU2qfj4HauvSXOW7KznVE7g6migPtvIKMZPKs13eUmdWOlKb0DlRutW~fQ8jT9p-ePFLRti8nxXCYRxnkBDgwlKFqAzJEPMfBwQTtQaehaKNZge-DWTmUaM2TgRUEt4sN33yhZK~7wB8I-RypuxjozCdR2GBeJ-0YcTjrH1nbUBxXmBfUbLy88TRcUzwV5RthWCyFdRpS5~xTMfSJHSGsZAC7qq~tXYpfI1qw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oyster River School Board heard a financial update showing an estimated $1.1 million surplus for the current year and discussed how pending state legislation could affect future budgets.

The business administrator told the board the district is “in really good shape,” estimating about $1.1 million over current projections. Staff said the plan includes using $250,000 of fund balance to offset taxes and funding two warrant-article set‑asides totaling roughly $500,000; after those allocations the working fund balance was reported at about $689,000. Buildings were asked to submit purchase orders before April vacation so the district can close fiscal-year needs.

Board members and the district’s NHSBA delegate raised concern about a set of bills moving through the New Hampshire Legislature that could reduce state education funding or change how money follows students. School Board Member Gianna, the district NHSBA delegate, warned specifically about HB 115 (and Senate companion SB 295), which would expand eligibility for education freedom accounts (vouchers), and HB 675, which would impose school budget caps unless communities approve overrides by a supermajority. She said the expansion of vouchers could “cost greater than $100,000,000 per year” statewide and that many voucher recipients already attend private schools, shifting public funds away from districts.

Superintendent Robert Schapp and board members urged residents to follow legislative developments during crossover week and contact legislators and the governor’s office if they have concerns. Board members noted the district will continue finance‑committee work this spring to assess macro fiscal pressures and plan potential adjustments if state or federal allocations change.

No formal board action was taken on funding policy at this meeting; the discussion was framed as planning and monitoring.","District staff reported an estimated $1.1 million surplus and a plan to use fund balance to offset taxes; board members and the NHSBA delegate urged attention to state legislation (including HB115 and HB675) that could reduce state funding or shift costs to local taxpayers.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6080099,"School board accepts $7,000 DES grant to reimburse elementary school lead remediation",280,3842000,4122000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2951896-794f97cf89ac2fc903438cdf1778dfae&start=3842&end=4122","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2951896-794f97cf89ac2fc903438cdf1778dfae/thumbnail_3842000.jpg","/articles/6080099/New-Hampshire/School-board-accepts-7000-DES-grant-to-reimburse-elementary-school-lead-remediation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6080099-63f04042712192c6d47005a24cb5aef4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771019770&Signature=TWVl79mVOCzzLmRgmLy1gVmdm2drmNEbDvPuJKDyQpkya06bwVQ4d4rBlRDyYv2lI3AaQ1dEsxMMxFYZzmGX~U325rl0DB8e~~pBO9oSZ9-b44xYZ6DqUEEpZba8BKqsDETxttpH2cbqUY2fOPRbEbWr3nISog7YHrBUNHjaxeTQ6E3Mij4uV5SKdZFWHwl-gM4a-dvkGrveorTNPyo75PzK0FFetmk4XQuoTDhkLXolkUUFYgEBwhUYENvF4FDRUvIC4PrYBQgLdxFve3YNe0c0AkaRln8GAczEFY2yDkCTjgIunTa6WzVmOUNdRYD4iG7zHMYvd6edS4Idy8n4aQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oyster River School Board voted to accept and expend grant funds from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services’ Drinking Water and Groundwater Trust Fund to reimburse lead‑remediation work at the district’s elementary schools.

Superintendent Robert Schapp read the motion on the grant agreement and the board approved it unanimously. The board discussed that the remediation work has already been completed and that the district will receive partial reimbursement through the DES grant program. The business administrator described the award as “about $7,000” to offset the district’s remediation costs.

Board members asked and were told the funding is a reimbursement; the work was completed before the grant agreement because the remediation addressed elevated lead results discovered in pipeline testing. The motion gives the superintendent authority to sign the grant agreement and related documents on the board’s behalf.

The board approved the motion by voice vote, 6 in favor, none opposed.

The district said it will follow the DES grant agreement procedures for reimbursement and accounting. The board did not identify further, separate remedial work at this meeting beyond the reimbursed pipe replacements at the elementary schools.","The Oyster River School Board voted 6-0 to accept and expend drinking-water grant funds from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services to reimburse recently completed lead-pipe remediation at district elementary schools.","actionData","errors"]
