Lucy Kanogas reported that, as of the reporting date, Pollard Elementary's full-day kindergarten was full with two classrooms totaling 40 students. Sandown North had two grade-level pressure points within three students of capacity, but no grade level exceeded capacity. The report indicated some registrations remained incomplete due to missing paperwork or deposits; as of the meeting \"outstanding\" lists contained several families working to complete enrollment steps.

Kanogas said the district had kindergarten camp activities during the summer that helped teachers and administrators assess incoming students and plan placements. She told the board that if families continue to register late, the district currently has space at other schools and administrators would recommend transfers where needed rather than adding new classrooms at this time.

Board members asked what happens when a class is full. Kanogas said the recommendation was to place a child at another school with available capacity if registrations continued to come in late, and to monitor outstanding deposits and documentation; principals and placement teams were reviewing kindergarten-camp attendance to finalize placements.

Ending: The administration said it will continue monitoring enrollment closely through the start of school and will inform the board if capacity pressures require personnel changes or new classroom openings.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","TRSB Meeting 08/14/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The district reported space constraints in full-day kindergarten at Pollard Elementary and near-capacity at other sites; administrators said they were monitoring deposits, paperwork and recent kindergarten-camp attendance to finalize class placements.","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},6486888,"Timberlane finance director presents budget-to-actual: revenues close to budget, expenses below but year-over-year variance large",321,2738000,3059000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5588456-69a7a5c4b1c5206ec05ea1f795c8904c&start=2738&end=3059","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5588456-69a7a5c4b1c5206ec05ea1f795c8904c/thumbnail_2738000.jpg","/articles/6486888/New-Hampshire/Timberlane-finance-director-presents-budget-to-actual-revenues-close-to-budget-expenses-below-but-year-over-year-variance-large","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6486888-1b9390e5d3cb12df254b37fc2e94cdff/orig.mp4?Expires=1775058976&Signature=nd8UbyYdysGIED19ypo1CUCIFgq0-jJqcZ4SKMkp5AqlUM~ELk-qBIWMpuGi1GzHxG5bBunOunoD2wjWmnUZeaRzLz7EL~oAIvqdANpzUzRY18vuVZLVHRriFIzVAr2ZRGzkjHc6l7anKugcFcDPgTmeH4zLlN2TIt-iynkXc3lkeglChhXFiMFaDmA9U5QP29buyDhPcm03JuNs4tm4lk8xrKsfxXstXcVGB4rAKcBN1WG0nQrncbBkTwX58dsuQNKxc7YJw65gMZSpGeBnR1QkdOspBvqDmEqE5zKtVlMClOKj1FiC~HDOaGLTz5hP2t16i-Jc3A7CBI9b2l70FA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Maria (business office) told the board the auditors had completed field work and district staff were reconciling accounts; she presented preliminary budget-to-actual numbers but cautioned the audit was not final.

Maria reported total revenue of $74,659,352 and expenses of $83,689,682 for the fiscal year as presented in the working dashboard shown at the meeting. She said revenue realized was about 102% of the budgeted figure while expenditures were about 91% of budget. Maria flagged a year-over-year variance of roughly $11.78 million, driven primarily by higher salaries and benefits, increased contracted services and capital payments under a lease: \"The variance for the year compared to fiscal year '24 was 11,782,588,\" she said, and identified increased salaries and benefits and contracted services and a capital lease payment among the major drivers.

Board members asked whether the unassigned fund balance could be projected. Maria said it would be inappropriate to estimate a final unassigned balance before auditors completed reconciliations and the MS-25 reporting; she said the unassigned fund balance would be significantly less than fiscal 2024 and suggested it might be at least 50% lower than the prior year's unassigned balance of about $16 million. The superintendent reiterated he would present the finalized unassigned fund balance to the board at the Sept. 4 meeting after filing with the Department of Revenue Administration (DRA).

Maria broke down revenue sources: roughly 82.4% of revenue came from local taxpayers, 15.7% from state and federal sources and 1.9% local revenue. Expense composition included 44.2% salaries, 25.4% benefits and 30.5% operating expenses. The bottom-line total including food service and grants was reported as $86,352,265.

Ending: The numbers Maria presented are preliminary pending final audit reconciliation. The board asked for a finalized MS-25 and unassigned-fund-balance report at the Sept. 4 meeting.","Business director Maria presented preliminary fiscal-year financials showing total revenues at 102% of budget, expenses at 91% of budget, and a year-over-year variance driven by salaries, contracted services and capital lease payments; final audited numbers will be posted after auditors complete reconciliations.",{"_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},6486894,"After hours of questions, Timberlane board adopts updated teacher-evaluation plan",3756,3564000,7320000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5588456-69a7a5c4b1c5206ec05ea1f795c8904c&start=3564&end=7320","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5588456-69a7a5c4b1c5206ec05ea1f795c8904c/thumbnail_3564000.jpg","/articles/6486894/New-Hampshire/After-hours-of-questions-Timberlane-board-adopts-updated-teacher-evaluation-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6486894-6472cad6234393b264b71b67601d0f25/orig.mp4?Expires=1775058976&Signature=kpDIN6pknnkbB97kAXaN61~RoGcTMA8kRmj6mOcp--0INCUMbNjXraSTZUjBb-xRfKJHYYX0BQ9s-ZLcO~wTtLs12IXl67mUvz8o2xb2cxA8aBdGRaq-~QTH24z5Ak6PldC0Ye89Kt0zELtQWS0gyVzofrZjv4N32jrZkvT1xRQ-ltsRAzYV7gag2T4hN2elCzF~ckZvW2HpmP-zBlpBvAZ04trdzx9Ey3HJVQ7BmZqzG1GRSMfuN3j6Uei36R25PJiN9QgVD~yTpEG0CCkWFwkty7IvknBJxhDn0jMIsC7SQDGmrMaW6vDis1dlFhIJjU132cGHGrcKwM5qYGkNSA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","After a prolonged review and a detailed presentation from district and teacher representatives, the Timberlane Regional School District school board on Aug. 14 adopted a revised educator evaluation plan negotiated with the Timberlane Teachers Association (TTA).

Lou Broad, president of the TTA and a Timberlane science teacher, told the board the committee that rewrote the plan met through May and the summer and included teacher and administrator representatives. \"We were both members of the educator evaluation plan committee,\" Broad said. \"This was our third cycle.\"

Key changes the committee presented include adoption of the Charlotte Danielson 2022 framework as the rubric basis, a shift to more frequent, shorter observations called \"mini observations,\" a requirement that new educators receive a minimum of six such observations annually and experienced educators receive a minimum of four, a midyear check-in for all educators, and greater formalization of \"unassociated\" observations (for activities not usually seen in classroom observations, such as participation in IEP or parent meetings).

Administrators and teachers emphasized the plan's collaborative intent while debating specific language. Dean (the superintendent) said the plan aims to increase meaningful feedback rather than be punitive. Board members pressed on specifics: whether mini observations would be announced, how many goals teachers would set (new teachers set multiple goals, experienced teachers generally set one), how refusal to engage in improvement conversations would be handled, and how documentation of support plans would be retained.

Broad said the committee intentionally made the plan more flexible and growth-oriented. \"All educators set goals at the start of the year as part of the evaluation process,\" he said, adding that the goal-setting is tied to self-reflection against the Danielson rubric.

The board asked for clarifying language in places (for example, to capture the intent that mini observations could be unannounced but may also be scheduled when a teacher requests observation). The plan includes conflict-of-interest guidance and acknowledges grievances may still be filed under the negotiated grievance process.

The board voted to adopt the updated evaluation plan. The TTA membership was scheduled to vote on the plan on Aug. 26; the plan will be distributed to staff and paired with professional learning when school opens.

Ending: The plan replaces the prior evaluation instrument, increases the frequency of feedback loops and requires administrators to document and communicate observations and support steps. The board and union plan joint implementation with training and midyear review points.","The Timberlane school board approved an updated educator evaluation plan negotiated with the teachers' union that adopts the 2022 Danielson framework, adds more frequent short \"mini\" observations and midyear check-ins, and clarifies conflict-of-interest and unassociated observations.",{"_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},6486898,"Timberlane school board: votes at a glance — August 14 meeting",701,1859000,2560000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5588456-69a7a5c4b1c5206ec05ea1f795c8904c&start=1859&end=2560","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5588456-69a7a5c4b1c5206ec05ea1f795c8904c/thumbnail_1859000.jpg","/articles/6486898/New-Hampshire/Timberlane-school-board-votes-at-a-glance-August-14-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6486898-d8e49faa925e77d75583631c4592b2dc/orig.mp4?Expires=1775058976&Signature=bdpfdulhaP2CMUa5Kv2Y~UVFsTStPlC8p2s5lcqoo6qaOK8g~-HUPvYkr2c47eegn~4WNn0pPJij3mUz8uysY9iNI0E~D0pwJ93nSGft5JYJdorXCVnXo~Tk8YgG1Oe45Czt15JQeM1wbHAuP-rP8qBmFmA3EvQmk4BJ5ixNjRg2NEi6wLarg8IXzD6f~KGNrio00yuR4EJiw5YNEBbY6SJ4MVZ3c1Bvffffy5Y4JTicCaYdD10DdlWvjABiqTf8nzh8A2ABynakHb1ZE0zoedRpb7GzVlJwX37ZsFlnpOwqP5S4xeSUrSP07fuaQQlmTLUusN37qGKmkYP5gCy1PQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Timberlane Regional School District's school board took a series of votes during its Aug. 14 meeting. Below are the board's actions as recorded in the public meeting transcript.

Key approvals

- 2025-26 school calendar revision (additional early-release days for ALICE active-intruder/active-shooter in-person training for staff): Motion made and seconded; board approved. The change adds one early-release day per town for elementary schools (Sandown, Atkinson, Pollard, Danville) and uses scheduled early-release days at the secondary schools so in-person ALICE training can be completed in the fall.

- Booster sign sponsorships: Board approved the list of booster-sponsored signs for school grounds; boosters will continue to coordinate seasonal fence signage.

- Booster landscaping services contract: The board approved entering into a three-year contract with OG (Odra) Landscaping for softscape services, a three-year total cited in the meeting of $115,095 (transcript notes this is total over three years, not per year).

- Audit engagement authorization: The board authorized the chair to sign the annual audit engagement letter with an estimated fee of $28,500 (fee excludes additional grant work); motion carried.

- TTA (Timberlane Teachers Association) educator evaluation plan: After extended discussion and suggested clarifying language, the board adopted the updated evaluation plan developed jointly with teacher representatives. The plan updates the Danielson framework to the 2022 version, adds more frequent \u001cmini\u001d observations and midyear check-ins, and clarifies unassociated observations and conflict-of-interest language; the board voted to adopt the plan.

- Elementary math curriculum updates: The board adopted revisions to the district's elementary math curriculum reflecting changes teachers had implemented and newly created common unit assessments.

- Multiple policies: The board took votes on several policy items, including first/second/adopt actions or first-read moves per state model language. Notable actions included adopting:
- IKL (Academic Honesty and Integrity) — motion to accept for first read, second read and adoption passed.
- JICJ (Unauthorized communication devices) — motion to adopt (first/second/read/adopt) passed; the policy implements requirements the board said came from a state law change noted in the meeting as \"House Bill 2.\" Board materials will include guidance and implementation work with staff to avoid escalatory enforcement.
- AB (Parental Bill of Rights) — board waived first read and adopted the model policy noted in the meeting as \"House Bill 10.\" The policy must be posted on the district website and included in staff and student handbooks.
- ACN (Accommodation of Nursing Mothers) — cited as required by recent state legislation (meeting referred to \"House Bill 358, Pump for Nursing Mothers Act\"); the board adopted the policy and said related building accommodations already exist.
- JLCJ (Concussions and Head Injuries) — first read; the policy incorporates changes required by state law and NHIAA guidance and was taken up with amendment and board approval for the first-read process.

Other routine approvals

- Annual suspension authority: The board renewed the superintendent's annual authorization to impose suspensions under RSA provisions (the meeting recorded a motion and approval).

- Personnel: The board confirmed multiple electronically-signed personnel nominations and resignations presented in the packet for the summer period; individual nominations and resignations were listed and recorded as approved.

Fantasia outlined highlights from the 2024-25 school year, saying the district staged roughly 773 events across middle and high school teams and had about 402 high-school students participating in NHIAA sports. He noted additions such as an esports program and growth in lacrosse and coed volleyball. \"We put on approximately 773 events,\" Fantasia said. \"At the high school, we had about 402 students participating in an NHIA sport. 54% of those kids played multiple sports.\"

The board also heard about an updated Emergency Action Plan (EAP) for sports-related injuries that Fantasia said was revised after work among athletic trainers around the state. He identified Gina Carbone as the district athletic trainer who led efforts to separate protocols from the broader EAP for clarity and to map AED locations and response procedures by field and facility. Fantasia said staff conduct drills with teams, practice calling 911, and prepare traveling AED coverage for off-site venues such as hockey and swim sites. He said the changes respond to requirements in \"Senate Bill 148-FN,\" which the presenter said was signed into law Aug. 10, 2021, and took effect Sept. 1, 2022; the revised plan is intended to meet that law's expectation that athletic departments implement emergency planning for sports injuries.

Fantasia said the document was not an action item for the board but that he planned to distribute the plan to local authorities and share it with the board. \"This is not an action item,\" he said. \"If this is okay with the board, this is what I'm gonna send to the local authorities, and this is what I'm gonna share with you.\" Board members asked questions about differences from the prior plan and were told the main change was separating protocols and procedures from the EAP for easier use by coaches.

Separately, the board approved booster club sign sponsorships, a recurring annual request that allows booster groups to display sponsored signage on school property with board permission. A board member moved to approve the list of booster sign sponsorships included in the Aug. 14 executive summary; Mary Anne seconded the motion, and the motion carried. Board discussion noted that booster groups coordinate seasonal fence signage (track and football alternate) and that the sponsorships help offset costs for team activities, banquets and senior events.

The athletic report and EAP drew praise from board members for the trainers and volunteers who run pre-season checks and community-supported facility improvements. Fantasia said he would send the final EAP to local emergency responders and continue drills with coaches and teams.

Ending: The board received an informational annual athletics report, accepted the revised emergency planning approach as presented for distribution, and approved the booster sign sponsorship requests. Fantasia and trainer Gina Carbone said they would continue drills and distribute the EAP to emergency partners.","Timberlane Athletic Director Angelo Fantasia reviewed last year's participation and team successes, outlined a reworked emergency action plan led by athletic trainer Gina Carbone under Senate Bill 148-FN requirements, and the school board approved booster sign sponsorship requests.","actionData","errors"]
