Team of Concerned Citizens to Examine Purchases plus Other Actions

Hello,

Under the NH Right to Know law, a group of concerned citizens have requested to the school district to review all RFPs and Purchases over $5000 (per policy DJ) for the past three years.  It is the allegation of this group that the policy has consistently not been followed or adhered to even after public comments regarding policy enforcement to the school board.

In addition, there have been two complaints to the NH Attorney General regarding the purchasing policy and practices in the district and we have extended an invitation to their team during this investigation.

We are encouraging all community members to support this initiative through either the petition signing, letter writing, or submitting your own complaint with the Attorney General 

We are all voters and have an amazing power to elect those who will serve in our best interest. From what has been witnessed as well as what is to come from this bidding report, the time to act will be in March. However, general awareness on this subject plus others still remains paramount.

Stay tuned and help out any way you can. I realize that we all have busy schedules.  However, the sustainability for young families staying this this district overall is at risk. Without champions on the board to act as change agents, then nothing will ever be done. This fundamental issue crosses all demographics and the school board at this point has yet to offer help to its constituents. Through the great election process in this country, we have final word on this and many other topics that matter to our children and grandchildren.
