The board took second-read votes to adopt policy ACN (accommodations for nursing mothers), GBAM (accommodations for pregnancy and related medical conditions for personnel) and IHBCA (accommodations of pregnancy and related medical conditions for students). Each of those second-read adoption votes was recorded in the meeting as carrying seven-zero.

Administrators also presented three policies for first read: IHBA (program for pupils with disabilities), IHBA-R (notice to parents related to Section 504 rights), and JLDBB (suicide prevention and response plan). During discussion of JLDBB, board members and administrators clarified how the district will designate a district suicide prevention coordinator (identified in the meeting as Molly Greeley, district guidance director) and building liaisons (the school counselors), and confirmed plans to update and disseminate the plan over the summer.

On professional development, the board reviewed and accepted the draft Laconia School District Professional Development Master Plan, a document the district updates every five years and submits to the Department of Education. Board members asked how the plan will be kept fluid and what data will be used to evaluate the mentoring program; administrators said the plan committee meets annually, the strategic plan provides assessment data, and staff use Frontline to track goals, reflections and recertification documentation.

Board members asked for clearer language in the suicide-prevention policy to identify which district personnel serve as the district coordinator and building liaisons; administrators agreed to revise wording for clarity before final adoption. The policy adoptions and the master plan acceptance were recorded as approved in the public meeting record.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","SAU 30 School Board 06-03-2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board adopted updated personnel and student accommodation policies, approved several second-read policy adoptions, and accepted a five-year Professional Development Master Plan to submit to the state.","taxTitle","Laconia School District, School Districts, New Hampshire","taxId",64982,"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},6211197,"Board approves Hewitt health science instructor hire and one-year certification extension for family consumer science teacher",1309,1961000,3270000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3699346-fd90ff71a7ed4642c3beb61ef9593c6a&start=1961&end=3270","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3699346-fd90ff71a7ed4642c3beb61ef9593c6a/thumbnail_1961000.jpg","/articles/6211197/New-Hampshire/Board-approves-Hewitt-health-science-instructor-hire-and-one-year-certification-extension-for-family-consumer-science-teacher","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6211197-4132963e8a67c10da7bcabad4f912e8c/orig.mp4?Expires=1775892586&Signature=d0tytnp5lKhKiirR1saDvugMvJRTYuq2ZzcLDUQHegU17R7rNU29zdkAIcVw4VhfRigaEO8E396C2NxvKVs4GYNRUV-nreOf3ANQGL2l6tVCJhO6-3Y2fuIjn7NzzmjG466NxhRR2ot8r82n3g~9ix7~pbhGIW0vBNeZpvwVQwb49HGlL~f7AcShWkLSFU-serb4ogsOq9l4n~jhdZ8pAOElnw0Nc7D6jzUeKymkPujZs1g-gwvc7vHtamNSx4iXwwEUiRNWMPUyq6U3hXRNAaKwKCwGRE6ORyDOuThT6CH9FDBkvr3798NiLh2Rl~2MLmB6sGdm6cqBLHb3afpndg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Laconia School Board on June 3 approved the nomination of a candidate to serve as the Hewitt Health Science instructor and approved a one-year certificate-of-eligibility extension for a family consumer science teacher to complete certification requirements.

The board voted, recorded in the meeting transcript as carrying, to accept the nomination of Ray Mello Andrews for the Hewitt Health Science instructor position; district presenters said the candidate brings more than 32 years of industry and teaching experience and will cover health science coursework as well as coordinate LNA and medical assistant programs funded through grants. The board also approved a one-year extension of a certificate of eligibility for Tiffany Dubey so she can assemble a certification portfolio, take required Praxis/Pearson exams, and complete an oral-board presentation; that extension was presented as a one-time administrative action and approved by the board.

Administrators reported recent staffing moves: Donna Johnson has been hired as Elm Street administrative assistant (she previously served as a para and receptionist); the district received resignation letters from a speech-language assistant serving Elm and Pleasant Street and from a Title I interventionist at Pleasant Street, and it is running recruitment for vacancies including a grade 5 teacher at Wilton Heights, a grade 7 opening at the middle school, and a high-school special-education position. Human Resources reported placing a larger ad in the Concord Monitor and related outlets; district staff said they had received one application for the high-school special-education opening and two applications for a middle-school restorative-justice position.

The board approved the nominee for Hewitt and the eligibility extension during the action portion of the meeting; those votes were recorded in the public minutes as carrying.","The board approved a Hewitt Health Science instructor nomination and a one-year certificate-of-eligibility extension to allow a family consumer science teacher to complete required credentialing steps; the board also reviewed staffing vacancies and recent hires.",{"_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},6211202,"Laconia board accepts principal resignation; moves to install Amy Hines as interim superintendent",75,3353000,3428000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3699346-fd90ff71a7ed4642c3beb61ef9593c6a&start=3353&end=3428","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3699346-fd90ff71a7ed4642c3beb61ef9593c6a/thumbnail_3353000.jpg","/articles/6211202/New-Hampshire/Laconia-board-accepts-principal-resignation-moves-to-install-Amy-Hines-as-interim-superintendent","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6211202-24f2066f014fb443ab9a2c6363b4644e/orig.mp4?Expires=1775892586&Signature=Tws620Xe4~AePJfyQWbdliwjiqm2CO6uE~PfuEon20Aw-dwHOcMjK24o-o1VU8rjz9kW0KKZzMIOWyOnJj7bNwOvTAd9qMGDGjTU6-vwjZ-yUiElOufcRnVmYvcg1Gb3EpHcSzC7am4F69bT3J8d03mip7zlb5GQsAPJIWooNc3YyoW6hSbnvxKI2ekC7UDuAbbRgBsDwhOD-ATpuzJQ1fFGrUvwml3mXWBvDR-YgYQQv8d0hJTwmtQlsBWrlywJjep3YR7PdPviJrtU2c0ckDCGpywuJwOJp0mZwwmBR6M1CpNAz-ZDQ6sLtBV1m-mquhiP~PEwNFY8oPwMzOsbbg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Laconia School Board on June 3 accepted the immediate resignation of Principal Bob Champlin and moved to appoint Amy Hines as interim superintendent effective immediately through June 30, 2026.

The resignation of Bob Champlin was accepted by a board vote recorded in the meeting as “carried seven-zero.” Following a nonpublic session under RSA 91-A:3 (personnel), a motion was made to appoint Amy Hines as interim superintendent effective June 3, 2025, through June 30, 2026. The public minutes do not include a roll-call tally for that specific appointment in the open record; the motion was seconded and taken up during the personnel portion of the meeting.

The board later moved a separate motion to appoint Amy Hines as assistant superintendent for the 2026–27 school year, with a term from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, “subject to a mutual agreement relative to the terms and conditions of a new contract.” During that vote one board member, Carrie, stated “no.” The transcript does not record a complete roll-call tally for that motion in the public portion of the record.

The personnel actions occurred after the board entered a nonpublic session under RSA 91-A:3 II(c) for a personnel matter. The meeting transcript shows the board returned from nonpublic and presented motions to accept the resignation and to appoint leadership for the superintendent role.

The changes come as the district adjusts top-level administration; the board did not provide further public comment about the reasons for the resignation during the open meeting. The board adjourned after completing the evening’s business.","The Laconia School Board accepted the immediate resignation of principal Bob Champlin and moved to appoint Amy Hines as interim superintendent effective immediately through June 30, 2026; the board also considered a separate appointment for Hines for 2026–27.","actionData","errors"]
