Exeter Region Coop board approves calendars, scholarships, policies and staffing; enters nonpublic session
Summary
The board approved meeting minutes and calendars, released Wheelwright scholarship funds, accepted six policy changes, authorized tentative overnight trips and approved new hires before entering nonpublic session under RSA 91‑A; it returned to public session and accepted the superintendent's recommendation.
The Exeter Region Coop School District board handled routine but consequential business at its meeting, approving minutes and calendars, releasing scholarship funds, accepting policy changes and approving staffing and trip permissions before entering a nonpublic session under state law.
Key actions and votes at the meeting included: the May 20 minutes and the next year’s calendar were approved; the cooperative board meeting schedule was adopted; the board released funds for three Wheelwright Scholarships (awarded to Molly Riccio, Leighton Lord and Mark Dival); the board accepted six policies and withdrew the retired policy described in the packet (policy EEEAEA was clarified to apply to contracted carriers only); the board authorized tentative overnight travel permissions (to be used if students qualify for national competitions); and the superintendent reported hiring four teachers (three middle school, one high school) with resumes provided for review. After routine business the board entered a nonpublic session under RSA 91‑A (the transcript corrects the subsection reference to c), returned to public session and moved to accept the superintendent’s recommendation (transcript does not specify the text of that recommendation). The meeting adjourned with members wishing the community a good summer.
