Principal Jessica Pizzina and Hancock Elementary students presented a short report on the school’s recent harvest supper, a longstanding event in which students prepare and serve meals using produce they planted and harvested.

"So we're going to present about our harvest supper that we had, 2 weeks ago," said Principal Jessica Pizzina. She described student involvement in planting, harvesting and food preparation; the school used produce from its garden (garlic, onions, apples, and wildflowers for decoration) and received additional donated ingredients from the Horton PTO. Third‑ and fourth‑grade students served families and helped with preparation; high school students participated through a day‑of‑service, and the PTO ran a silent auction that the presenters described as the PTO’s largest fundraiser of the year.

Later in the meeting the board reviewed the expense and encumbrance report. The administration noted that the "people services" line appears over‑encumbered for the fiscal year because contracts are encumbered for the full year and some positions have been filled through contracted services where hiring was not possible. The administration said transportation and tuition lines were significantly under budget and would offset personnel encumbrances; the board voted to accept the financial report by voice vote.

The board also voted to accept a donation to South Meadow School from Hamlin Automotive. The motion to accept the donation "with gratitude" carried by voice vote.

At the end of the public meeting the board voted to enter a short nonpublic session for legal advice, citing "RSA91A32 c l" as the authority for nonpublic deliberation. The board called the roll for the nonpublic session: Billy (yes), Janine (yes), Tom (yes), Curtis (yes), Jim (yes), Carl (yes) and Greg (yes).

The harvest supper presentation highlighted hands‑on student learning, community involvement, and PTO support. The board recorded routine financial business and accepted a donation; it then went into a nonpublic session for legal advice as allowed under the RSA citation noted on the record.
