Voters add $10,000 to technology capital reserve from fund balance
Summary
Stratham voters approved a $10,000 transfer from fund balance to the technology capital reserve fund to smooth planned network infrastructure replacements; no tax increase was required.
Stratham — Voters approved adding $10,000 from the June 30 fund balance to the Stratham School District’s technology capital reserve fund, a reserve the board uses to smooth the cost of periodic network‑infrastructure refreshes.
Board member Eric Herring explained the reserve covers large‑ticket network items — firewalls, switches and wireless infrastructure — that are typically replaced on a roughly five‑year cycle and that the fund was created to reduce unpredictable budget spikes. The article specified that no additional taxation was required and that the appropriation would be drawn from available fund balance.
The article passed on a voice vote; the board recommended the appropriation and the Financial Advisory Committee supported it.
