School board orders actuary review of SchoolCare actuarial report, directs superintendent to notify Secretary of State
Summary
Following a non-public session, the board voted not to issue pro‑rated stipends absent policy, authorized an actuary review of a 2025 SchoolCare actuarial report, and instructed the superintendent to contact the Secretary of State about late filing and an incomplete audit.
During a non-public session at the Jan. 5 board meeting, the Governor Wentworth Regional School Board took three formal actions related to personnel and financial oversight.
First, the board voted that, in the absence of a governing district policy, it will not issue pro-rated stipends at this time (motion by Mr. Williams; second by Ms. Schillereff). That motion carried 8–1.
The board also voted unanimously to seek an external actuary to review the 2025 actuarial report submitted to the district by SchoolCare. The motion to find an actuary was moved by Mr. Deshaies and seconded by Ms. Schillereff; the minutes record a unanimous vote in favor.
Finally, the board instructed Superintendent Caroline Arakelian to contact the New Hampshire Secretary of State regarding the late filing of the SchoolCare actuarial report and the incompletion of the district’s 2025 audit and to report back to the School Board. That instruction was passed unanimously (moved by Mr. Deshaies, seconded by Dr. Sheckler).
The minutes do not state specific perceived errors in the actuarial report or audit; the board’s actions authorize follow-up steps, including soliciting an actuary and contacting state officials. The Business Administrator and Superintendent were assigned follow-up tasks to report back to the board at a future meeting.
