School Board Meeting Minutes: June 2008 Archives

The MCA has taken the position that public meetings and minutes  thereof should be complete, contain all correspondence /addendums presented or discussed and be available online so that all can access and review at their own pace and timeframe. We are highlighting the following from the May 2008 School Board meeting as much information from that  meeting is not available to the public in the online posting. Requests for the complete minutes should be made to the SAU 45 District Office as well as any questions or concerns.

Mr. Paul Punturieri PO Box 297 Moultonborough, NH 03254

Dear Mr. Punturieri:

On Thursday, May 15, Mr. Mark Borrin forwarded to me an email you sent to him on the evening of May 14, 2008. In the email, you stated, "The 2006-2007 .average cost per pupil for SAU #45 (source: NH DOE) was $15,717.58 which is 20% more than the tuition for non-residents. The cost per pupil should be the same for all students. Why can we educate non-residents for $3,243 less?"
