Greenland approves two $25,000 payments for school gym repairs and high school tuition
Summary
Selectmen approved two separate $25,000 disbursements: one to Greenland Central School for gym maintenance and a second to SAU 50 to cover high school tuition for Greenland students attending Portsmouth High School.
The Greenland Board of Selectmen authorized two $25,000 payments at its June 16 meeting: one from the school building properties and grounds expendable trust to Greenland Central School for gym maintenance, and a second from a tuition expendable trust to School Administrative Unit 50 to cover high school tuition for Greenland students attending Portsmouth High School.
Selectmen said both requests had gone through the school process and had been presented at a public hearing; the board reviewed the paperwork and accepted the requests. The meeting record shows selectmen made motions, seconded them, and voted unanimously to issue two checks: check number 963 to Greenland Central School (gym reimbursement) and check number 962 to SAU 50 (tuition reimbursement).
Board members discussed the reason for the gym request: a water leak last winter that led to replacement of the gym floor and related work; selectmen noted the school reported the maintenance work had been vetted at a public hearing before the request reached the town. The tuition payment was described as covering unanticipated high-school tuition costs for Greenland students who attend Portsmouth High School.
Selectmen instructed staff to confirm the correct payee format before finalizing one of the checks (discussion centered on whether to make a payment to SAU 50 or directly to the school). Both motions carried without dissent.
The board recorded the check numbers and fund sources in the minutes and directed town staff to process the payments and retain supporting documentation with the town records.
