Francestown board backs ConVal pilot for before/after-school childcare
Summary
The Board unanimously expressed support for ConVal's planned fall pilot of a before/after-school childcare program after hearing that state funding for families and an MOU template are available; legal counsel will review the MOU and facility use will be coordinated with Tim Grossi.
The Francestown Independent School District Board voted June 17 to express interest in and support for ConVal piloting a before/after-school childcare program this fall, with the intention of continuing the program once Francestown operates independently.
Dr. Ann Forrest, Contoocook Valley School District superintendent, said the regional director of the Healthy Kids Program presented information to the ConVal administrative team about the program, including state funding available to families, a sample memorandum of understanding and facility licensing requirements. Forrest said she will coordinate facility use with Tim Grossi and have legal counsel review the sample MOU before the pilot begins.
Laura Mafera moved that the district express interest in and support ConVal piloting the before/after-school childcare program; David Stahlin seconded and the motion passed by unanimous voice vote. Board members emphasized that legal review and facility arrangements are prerequisites to implementing the pilot at Francestown Elementary.
The minutes do not record a vote tally; additional program details, including specific funding amounts and the final MOU terms, were not included in the record and will be clarified as staff coordinate with ConVal and legal counsel.
