School Board Meeting 10-6-26

The Londonderry School Board’s regular meeting on October 6, 2026 included an update that the district office construction project remained several weeks ahead of schedule: the building was weather-tight and shingled, rough electrical and plumbing work was underway, and brick veneer was expected soon. No construction contract award, vendor selection, or related spending vote was reported. The board also discussed a proposed tuition-based preschool at Moose Hill School, tentatively targeting a March 2027 community vote and a fall 2027 launch. The proposal contemplated tuition of about $12,500 per year and a self-sustaining revolving fund for salaries, benefits, supplies, and possible facility upgrades; it was exploratory, with no approval vote taken.

The board received an informational presentation on a proposed school tax-cap ballot question and potential consequences for district services, including transportation, academics, technology, athletics, and staffing; the meeting identified an estimated $2 million in reductions that could be required under the cap scenario. Members and public speakers debated the measure, but no board action was taken on it. The board also began discussing school-facility use fees in light of a recently adopted town fee schedule, without setting or approving district fees. The consent agenda was approved, but the transcript does not specify procurement items within it.
