Newmarket Town Council Meeting - 17 June 2026

Newmarket School Board Approves Year-End Expenditures Amidst Potential Fiscal Policy Changes
The Newmarket School Board discussed the retained fund balance and potential impacts of HB 1610, which could eliminate the concept. Two scenarios were presented: one where HB 1610 is signed into law, requiring all retained funds to be returned to taxpayers, and another where it is vetoed, allowing for a retained fund balance. The board authorized expenditures from the 2025-2026 budget to cover identified costs for the upcoming year, including the roofing project, severance payments, and IT equipment upgrades. This move aims to leverage the current healthy fund balance and mitigate future budget uncertainties. Additionally, the board approved writing off $5,672.93 in uncollectible meal debt.
Newmarket School Board Prepares for Delegate Assembly, Approves Employee Handbook Updates
The School Board is preparing resolutions for the New Hampshire School Board Association Delegate Assembly. The deadline for submitting resolutions is July 3rd or 4th. The board typically does not propose resolutions but will consider them closer to the deadline. Last year's main topic was open enrollment. Separately, the board approved updates to the employee handbook, which included minor changes such as updating dates, committee member names, and adding language regarding the Pregnancy Workers Fairness Act and Pump Act. Updates were also made to references for 403Bs, hyperlinks, the sick leave table, and health insurance coverage to reflect recent contract changes.
Newmarket School Board Approves Updated MOU with Police Department, Discusses SRO Program Evolution
The School Board reviewed and approved an updated Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Newmarket Police Department. The new MOU consolidates previous agreements for School Resource Officers (SROs) and video camera access into a single document. It clarifies the roles and responsibilities of the SROs and the relationship between the school district and the police department, using modern language. A specific clause regarding access to cameras during criminal investigations, where the superintendent is the subject, was discussed. Concerns were raised about the notification process and the chair's authority in such a scenario, leading to a discussion about potential policy adjustments or emergency meeting protocols. The board also discussed the transition of SRO roles from simply 'police officer in school' to integrated 'school resource officers' who build relationships and act as community assets.
Newmarket Elementary School Secures Funding for Outdoor Classroom Project
The Newmarket Elementary School PTA is developing an outdoor classroom and learning opportunities, funded by a grant from U.S. Fish and Wildlife. The project aims to increase outdoor time for students, with plans for various zones including a gathering area with log stumps, a stage, a steam and sensory exploration area, a mud kitchen, a hammock area, a gross motor area with a spider web climber, and nature exploration supplies. Funding will be a combination of the grant, PTA funds, community education partnership grants, donations, and potentially an Eagle Scout project. The initiative has already seen success with before-school playground meetups, bike-to-school days, hike-to-school days, and nature clubs. The project also involves replacing invasive plant species with native ones and installing wildlife information signs.
