Board appoints Kathleen Peck to Stratham School District board seat
Summary
After interviewing the sole applicant, the Stratham school board voted to appoint Kathleen Peck to fill a vacant board seat. Peck told the panel she had participated in the financial advising committee and served as district clerk.
The Stratham School District board appointed Kathleen Peck to a vacant seat during the May meeting after interviewing the only applicant.
Peck said she has two children at Stratham Memorial School and had served the previous year on the financial advising committee and the school district clerk role for town election matters. She described committee experience in healthcare and military roles and emphasized teamwork and budget familiarity.
Board member Cameron Orr moved to appoint Peck; Sophie Saltenstall seconded the motion. The board voted in favor; minutes recorded a unanimous result (4–0–0). Peck joined the board immediately.
Why it matters: The appointment fills a board vacancy ahead of the next regular vote in March and adds an experienced parent with recent budget-committee participation. Peck said she intends to remain on the board while her younger child remains at SMS.
No formal policy changes accompanied the appointment; Peck will be assigned to committees at a later date.
