Surry Health Officer delivers school inspection report, asks Selectmen for annual public-health meeting
Summary
Health Officer John Davis presented the five-year Surry School Health Inspection with no major deficiencies and asked the Select Board to schedule at least an annual meeting to coordinate Department of Public Health matters and resident concerns.
John Davis, Surry's Health Officer, told the Selectmen on Dec. 22 that a resident contacted him about a previously mailed letter of concern and that the resident understands the issue and was encouraged to draft a formal response.
Davis provided the Select Board with the 2025 Surry School Health Inspection Report, which he said the state requires every five years. He reported "no major deficiencies were identified" in the inspection and left the report with the board pending the availability of a dedicated file drawer for Department of Public Health materials.
Davis also requested that the Select Board establish, at a minimum, an annual meeting between the Select Board and the Health Officer to review public-health matters and coordinate state-required reporting. The request frames an ongoing, scheduled point of contact between town leadership and the Health Officer ahead of future inspection cycles.
The board took the report and the meeting request under advisement; no formal vote on the scheduling request was recorded during the session. The minutes note that Davis encouraged the resident to prepare a formal written response to the original letter of concern, which would be kept with town records.
