Loading...
Summary
Officials organizing a new school district asked the Board to set the date for an election of district officers and members; the Board agreed to the second Tuesday in March (March 11). Presenters described implementation steps and a busy pre-operational schedule.
Representatives of a newly forming school organization requested the State Board set the date for their first annual election and organizational meeting. Steve Eggert (identifying himself as a senior at St. Peters and a district organizer) told the Board that, following consultation with the selectmen of the participating towns, the group proposed the second Tuesday in March — March 11 — as the election date for officers and trustees.
Board members moved and seconded a motion to accept March 11 as the election date; the motion passed with an affirmative vote. Presenters said the district has made progress on pre-operational tasks including policies, tuition agreements for high-school placements and planning for staged grade expansion. Presenters said logistics under consideration include transportation, food service and facility adjustments; they also discussed plans for community engagement such as choosing a district mascot with student input.
Ending: The Board approved the requested election date and asked the district organizers to continue pre-operational planning and to return with updates as needed.
