Mr. Krieger, a district staff member who presented the financing item, summarized the phase-3 lease purchase financing and said the first payment will be due July 14, 2026, and that the annual payment is about $218,000 with the financing running through 2043. He stated a payment figure in his presentation as \"$2,589,655.\" Later, a board motion recorded in the minutes referred to approving a resolution \"to authorize $2,509,655 as phase 3 of lease purchase financing of energy savings equipment and associated building improvements.\" The board moved and approved the resolution without a roll-call tally recorded in the public minutes.

The board approved repurposing a vacant high-school French teaching position to create a District Technology Integration Specialist focused on elementary-level \"push-in\" support for digital literacy standards. Mr. Krieger described the repurposing as a response to earlier reductions in discrete elementary technology education positions; the new role is intended to support classroom teachers and to help integrate technology across elementary classrooms rather than in stand-alone classes.

The board also approved a proposed Timberlane Middle School eighth-grade trip to Washington, D.C., planned for April vacation 2026. The trip is run through EF Tours, will be funded entirely by participating families, and the board approved enabling the school to begin advertising and accepting registrations so families can use payment plans. Administrators said every 10 students on the tour must be accompanied by a Timberlane chaperone per the tour company rules.

School nutrition staff proposed a 10-cent increase in student meal prices to partially offset inflationary food and labor costs. A motion to approve the new pricing passed; board discussion emphasized that the school must continue to provide meals to students who request them and that federal reimbursements and family payments do not fully cover the true per-meal cost (presented as about $3.97 per meal).

Other votes recorded during the meeting included: first-reading approval of a revision to the Evolution of Games curriculum (to return for a second read and adoption at a later meeting), authorization for the school board chair to sign the district\u0000s federal general assurances, approval of meeting minutes (regular and nonpublic), and acceptance of several staff resignations and a retirement. The motions in the public minutes recorded affirmative votes with no named dissenters or detailed roll-call tallies in the posted transcript.

Why it matters: The lease financing will fund capital and energy projects identified in the district packet (Mr. Krieger said work in this phase focuses on Atkinson Academy and Sandown North). The staffing repurpose shifts district instructional resources to maintain elementary technology integration after earlier reductions. The Washington, D.C., trip is an optional, family-funded enrichment opportunity tied to eighth-grade social studies curriculum. The modest meal-price increase responds to rising food and benefit costs while board members reiterated the district\u0000s obligation to feed students who request meals.

Clarifying notes and open items from the meeting: Mr. Krieger presented a financing amount of $2,589,655 early in the presentation and the formal motion recorded a different amount ($2,509,655). The board did not record a detailed roll-call vote tally in the publicly posted transcript for that or several other motions; minutes state motions passed with no recorded opposition. Administrators said the first lease payment will be due July 14, 2026, and that the lease interest rate secured was 4.689% as stated in the packet presentation.

Votes at a glance (items recorded in the meeting minutes):
- Resolution: Authorize phase 3 lease purchase financing (motion text in minutes referenced $2,509,655). Outcome: approved.
- Repurpose position: Convert vacant French teaching position to District Technology Integration Specialist. Outcome: approved.
- Trip authorization: Approve Timberlane Middle School eighth-grade Washington, D.C., trip for April 2026 (family-funded). Outcome: approved.
- Meal pricing: Approve proposed student meal price adjustments (10-cent increase proposed). Outcome: approved.
- Curriculum: First-read approval of Evolution of Games curriculum revision (two-unit course). Outcome: first read approved (second read/adoption scheduled at a later meeting).
- Federal assurances: Authorize school board chair to sign fiscal-year federal general assurances. Outcome: approved.
- Minutes and personnel: Regular and nonpublic minutes approved; professional resignations and a retirement accepted. Outcomes: approved.

What to watch next: administrators said they will present follow-up details at the May 8 board meeting, including clarification on the lease-phase cost discrepancy, vendor/requisition recommendations for recurring facilities purchases, and a reorganization plan for special education after an approved personnel reduction.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","TRSB Meeting 04/17/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Timberlane Regional School District School Board on April (date not specified) approved a phase-3 lease purchase financing resolution, repurposed a vacant teaching position into a district technology integration role, authorized an eighth-grade Washington, D.C., trip for April 2026 and approved a modest student meal price increase.","taxTitle","Timberlane Regional School District, School Districts, New Hampshire","taxId",59112,"location","New Hampshire","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6581762,"Timberlane administrators report kindergarten and preschool wait lists; Danville, Pollard grades nearing capacity",123,4576000,4699000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3045398-43356d1c14aa56d47dc955b67681f67e&start=4576&end=4699","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3045398-43356d1c14aa56d47dc955b67681f67e/thumbnail_4576000.jpg","/articles/6581762/New-Hampshire/Timberlane-administrators-report-kindergarten-and-preschool-wait-lists-Danville-Pollard-grades-nearing-capacity","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6581762-0df29fda47fc112ad151c59b3ab2e2d6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771113344&Signature=OTOrwBzKpH336A~7WAFafmj7r2RKwGqnah9iw9ZtF9CIBPG26NfbUgzIl8mvzMu8b0Q2NAfvpQMNWQgkSnGN~3rPsC~ByFV5QPK8-s7VauJlp99EbyIKYE8mGzxBVa~WbeVqefkQsHj2NZz0R5nilsJ7TnsMF9Odn3N0sjByY7Z07zuKiWS-tYmP2xZhKzSYYigYiiFKek2ZMCbhdzi-A9~r7nfJUR3Kte9ar6DeJOBoAhGuu~bcaJTAO~CJfQzHZ7Wfn2JNAasC5KLbW0ecbMgSiJeFVHPyGfhu82Pri7fvrBeKe5vQfjkimHBe1~BvRS-Wj10~AMdYfUKsDcX2QA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","District administrators updated the Timberlane Regional School District School Board on elementary enrollment and early-childhood registration, reporting that several grade levels are at or near capacity and that Atkinson\u0000s new preschool and full-day kindergarten currently have wait lists.

Atkinson\u0000s new preschool program has a wait list and full-day kindergarten currently shows two sections (20 and 20) with additional registrations pending, administrators said. \"We are watching two grade levels. Those are darker shaded. Those grade levels are both at capacity at those schools,\" the enrollment presenter said, noting Atkinson kindergarten and the new preschool as points of concern. The presenter explained April 30 is the district's deadline for finalized placements and tuition payments for full-day kindergarten, and the district will decide whether to staff a third section or direct students to alternate programs based on final registrations.

Administrators identified two pressure points: Danville third grade (reported as 44 students, with policy max class size of 22) and Pollard Grade 2 (reported as 66 students across three classrooms of 22). The district said one flexible position may be available for reassignment if additional staffing is required, but that any recommendation to add staff would be brought to the board for a decision. \"We would bring that kind of concern back to the board and then make some recommendations to you for some decisions,\" Mr. Krieger said.

Why it matters: class-size policy and staffing decisions affect classroom learning conditions and budget planning. Administrators urged the board that numbers will continue to fluctuate through the April 30 registration date, and they will present finalized placement and staffing recommendations after registration closes.

Clarifying details: preschool class size was stated as 12; Atkinson preschool is the first year offered outside of TLC and TLC remains an alternate program for 3-year-old placements. Administrators said there is physical classroom space available if a third Atkinson kindergarten section is required and that district planning will continue through end-of-April registration closes.

Next steps: administrators will return after the April 30 registration deadline with finalized class sizes, placement details and any staffing recommendations for board consideration.","District staff told the school board that two elementary grade levels are at capacity and that Atkinson preschool and kindergarten currently have wait lists. Administrators described options the district will use if enrollment increases, and said final placements will be determined after the April 30 registration deadline.",{"_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},6581767,"Timberlane wrestlers take state title; Timberlane Middle wins New Hampshire middle school cooking competition",1461,1763000,3224000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3045398-43356d1c14aa56d47dc955b67681f67e&start=1763&end=3224","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3045398-43356d1c14aa56d47dc955b67681f67e/thumbnail_1763000.jpg","/articles/6581767/New-Hampshire/Timberlane-wrestlers-take-state-title-Timberlane-Middle-wins-New-Hampshire-middle-school-cooking-competition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6581767-eb4af64917d5f7f601df7d6962ecff7e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771113344&Signature=jqbPJe0hYGWVjcNuJgSOfR9CJDKxraOzWRy8eYqjk7U-PAdSMxJMbHXIe-bArKJIIzeHV1V6XjNT5K3xy53SMD8Uir691ZrVZrfV5lNL4~EMDgAITxw39gXPDnrPoMb~iWzWZ8oMLB1qIlmWxMqkHymz-4T10UWodK5VDcdTuck1vrPhry7GAqSAZozY0Dh47PkfivWzC62eaEn41FbCzO-FIvrUfa2c128i5XQbj~0KJHhPc86sx4Sqm-Xu~v2Fc-IhMufHyrHPTt6acYH8DX5Ue2GF8pUy2S0rgDUefYc70PgxlWGr6~55uEnsmXhcKE08ALbtDMxk19ERruzkyw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Timberlane Regional School District School Board meeting included on-stage recognition of two student groups: Timberlane High School\u0000s state-champion wrestling team and the Timberlane Middle School cooking team, which won first place at the New Hampshire Middle School cooking competition.

Coach Brown, representing the Timberlane High School wrestling program, told the board the team won the 2025 New Hampshire state championship and that the program has a long history of success. \"This is our the wrestling program's 31st state championship, which is the most in the state of New Hampshire,\" Coach Brown said, noting the team produced multiple individual state medalists and placing team members on the program\u0000s banner. He described a season with a tough schedule, strong team dynamics and active alumni engagement; he said alumni reached out to congratulate the team following the tournament.

Board members and attendees praised the student-athletes for on- and off-mat contributions. Board members highlighted the program\u0000s academic supports, weeknight study halls, and a youth wrestling program that drew 45\u0000to\u000050 children in recent seasons. Board members emphasized that many Timberlane coaches are school employees and alumni, which the presenters said helps continuity between athletics and academics.

Separately, students from Timberlane Middle School introduced themselves and described a signature chicken-and-waffle sandwich that won the New Hampshire Middle School cooking competition. The students—Amber (seventh grade), Carson (eighth grade), Eva (eighth grade) and Ryan (eighth grade)—explained their dish and noted the competition\u0000s use of honey as a themed ingredient. The board and members of the public sampled the food and presented the team with a trophy from the competition.

Why it matters: Board recognition highlights extracurricular programs\u0000role in student development. Administrators and board members emphasized academic performance among team members, the district\u0000s support structures and the value of extracurriculars that create pathways from middle to high school programs.

Provenance: The wrestling remarks are drawn from the coach\u0000s presentation during the recognitions segment; the cooking team remarks and trophy presentation are drawn from the middle-school segment later in the meeting.","The Timberlane High School wrestling team was recognized at the board meeting after winning the 2025 New Hampshire state wrestling championship, the program\u0000s 31st state title, and the Timberlane Middle School cooking team was presented after taking first place in the New Hampshire Middle School cooking competition.","actionData","errors"]
