Letter


To all Northwood Residents:
As most of you know, the Northwood School is currently part of SAU 44, a three-district SAU that also includes the towns of Strafford and Nottingham.  After careful consideration, the Northwood School Board feels that we should look at the feasibility of becoming a single district SAU. 


Since Northwood is now an SB2 town, the first step of this process was to hold a Special School District Meeting which took place on Monday, May 9th at 7:00 pm in the school gym.  The purpose of this special meeting/deliberative session was for the School Board to present its financial, educational and administrative reasons for recommending the formation of an SAU withdrawal committee.  Community members had the opportunity to speak and ask questions. 


The next step of the process is to hold a ballot vote on the question of whether or not the Northwood School District should establish a planning committee to study the pros and cons of becoming a single district SAU.  This ballot vote will be held on Tuesday, June 7th, at the Parish Center at St. Joseph’s Church.  The polls will be open from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. 


If the town votes to form a withdrawal committee, this committee shall consist of 2 School Board members, 1 Budget Committee member and 4 members of the community at large.  The committee will research all aspects of withdrawal and will make a final recommendation to the town.  If the committee recommends withdrawal, the committee will then create a withdrawal plan that will be presented to the town and to the state for approval.


We strongly encourage residents to come out and vote on June 7.  Should you have any questions regarding this process or if you would like more information, please contact any School Board member. 

 

Thank you.
Helen Ash
Vice Chair, Northwood School Board

New Art Classes At Northwood Recreation Hall
Submitted By: David Burton


After 10 wonderful years of teaching free art classes at the Chesley Memorial Library, artist David Burton has moved his art classes to the Northwood Recreation Hall, due to the Library’s new shorter hours.  Mr. Burton has over twenty years experience in art, doing everything from portraits to books covers.


The class is an ongoing course in art, teaching students everything from the basics of drawing to figure art and painting. With the new location, Mr. Burton is looking for new students.


His class is currently starting to learn the basics of painting and anyone who would like to join can contact David at: [email protected]. For this part of the class, a basic knowledge of drawing is required.


Students bring their own supplies. For a list of what to bring and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact David the above mentioned e-mail address.

 


 

Letter To The Editor


Productive.  What is and what isn’t productive can be measured in many ways. So for instance, when School Board member Overmyer complained Monday that a public comment period at the end of meetings was not very productive I wonder in what context he is measuring.  The Northwood School Board is elected to manage taxpayer’s money in the endeavor to educate our children to the best of their ability. They haven’t been too productive in money management.  They overspent their budget last year; they are somewhere over budget this year but frankly no one knows by how much. So, yes, Mr. Overmyer and crew are productive at spending money that isn’t theirs.


Our children are not getting an adequate education. Test scores show a school that is well below the State average and going downhill at a very fast rate. Very productive at wasting our hard earned dollars and setting up our kids for failure. That is my perspective.  We need a lot more public comment.


I asked Chairman Ruth, “what is the game plan Dave? The School Board is openly hostile to the Budget Committee, is openly disrespectful to the Selectmen, is rude and disdainful of the public at large, and wants to withdraw from the SAU. Do you have a end game?” His answer was that we had a different perspective.  And in that he is right on the money. Productivity at the School Board stinks, that is my perspective.
