OYSTER RIVER, N.H. — The Oyster River school board accepted the resignation of the district’s IT director at its June 18 meeting and took time during the public session to recognize his work on the district’s one‑to‑one device program and cybersecurity protections.

A board member moved to accept the IT director’s resignation; the motion was seconded. Several board members spoke in tribute, praising the director — identified in the meeting as Josh — for leadership during the district’s 1:1 rollout, cybersecurity efforts and for restructuring the leasing program for student devices. One speaker said Josh is “nationally recognized” for protecting student data and that his foresight “saved a tremendous amount of money in the long run.”

The board then voted to accept the resignation: six board members voted in favor and the student representative recorded an abstention. No further personnel details or an effective departure date were discussed in public; administrators said they would manage interim coverage and recruitment as needed.

Ending: The board accepted the resignation and will proceed with staffing plans and an internal transition; members publicly thanked the IT director for his service.
