School Board Meeting 11-10-26

At its November 10, 2026 meeting, the Londonderry School Board approved moving forward with replacement of 14 outdated high-school transformers. The project is estimated to cost $256,605; Eversource would cover 56% upfront, with the district’s remaining approximately $112,000 payable through its utility bill on an interest-free schedule, including a proposed 92-month option. Estimated annual energy savings are just over $19,000. The board also discussed a potential air-conditioning project, including an approximately $850,000 option, but deferred consideration to the budget process; no purchase or funding approval was made. The district reported an $18,000 VEX IQ robotics equipment award through Manchester Community College, and noted energy savings from earlier heating-system projects.

The board approved revisions to the school-facility use fee policy and first readings of related facility-use policies, establishing annual board approval of the fee schedule. It also approved the high school’s 2027–28 Rome band trip, with fundraising and family payments planned; no total trip cost was stated. The board approved the 2027–28 high-school program of studies, which includes curriculum and course-description updates. Rising healthcare costs were flagged as a significant pressure on the upcoming budget, but no budget allocation was approved at this meeting.
