Coach supporters, including current coach Tim Fitzpatrick and assistant coach Tyler, presented a packet of accomplishments and a prepared statement to the board describing the coach’s career and the rationale for the honor. Fitzpatrick said the naming would recognize not only competitive success — a career record the presenters described as extraordinary, including dozens of state championships and long winning streaks — but also the coach’s long emphasis on character development, inclusion of athletes with differing abilities, mentorship and lessons about perseverance.

Fitzpatrick read a prepared statement summarizing the coach’s record and the community impact of the program. Supporters told the board the coach helped forge a culture in which varsity athletes supported junior varsity teammates and where graduates credit the program with shaping their careers and lives.

Board members discussed the request and the board’s naming policy. Several members praised the coach’s record and character; one board member described the nominee as meeting a high bar for naming of district facilities. The board chair said the policy vetting process had been followed and that final signage and nomenclature (for example, whether to use a middle initial) would be confirmed with the coach and the superintendent before installation.

A motion to approve the naming passed by voice vote; the board did not record a roll‑call tally in the meeting minutes. Following the vote, board members said they would coordinate with the presenter to confirm exact wording for signage and bring that back to the board.

At a Timberlane Regional School District school board meeting, Lauren Asick, principal at Sandown North, said the program distributed books to every student and to all adults in the building — “from the bus driver to the cafeteria staff and custodians” — and intentionally linked the school to local businesses so families could pick up raffle tickets by answering trivia questions about the book.

Asick said organizers chose the sequel to The Wild Robot after the movie adaptation was released Sept. 27 and that planning began during February break. Librarian Laura Ross described creating a week‑by‑week reading schedule, daily announcements with chapter assignments, and classroom comprehension questions. The school also posted posters and staged themed art and robotics activities in unified arts classes.

Business partners kept copies of the book and a ticket bucket at five sites in town — the post office, town hall, the library and two restaurants — and employees asked children trivia questions to earn raffle tickets. Caroline, the acting postmaster at the local post office, and Dave Valance, owner of 12 Coffee & Ice Cream, told the board they enjoyed hosting students and said the program brought families into businesses who previously did not visit regularly.

Students displayed projects at an integrated arts night and took part in hands‑on STEM challenges tied to the story; presenters showed samples of art, sculptures and robot builds produced by students. Author‑illustrator David Badriki visited the school to compare his book about a different robot with the class book, Asick said.

Asick and Ross said the PTA donated raffle prizes and that classroom and family activities — including a family bingo sheet and a “book basket” raffle for each grade — encouraged reading at home. They also surveyed families after the program and reported responses saying the shared reading experience helped siblings several years apart connect, that families read together nightly while on vacation and that the trivia questions prompted extra library visits.

School staff and students suggested refinements for next year: adding an audiobook option, expanding to include Sandown Central and younger grades, including student voice in future book selection, running the program in two halves (one book per half year) and offering a summer reading selection. Asick said the school had attempted to secure permission to post staff‑recorded readings from the book, but contractual restrictions prevented them from uploading staff‑read audio; she said the team will look for books or audio arrangements that allow recordings next year.

The board did not take action on the presentation. Members thanked staff and students and noted the program’s potential to deepen community relationships and library usage.

Highlights follow; all outcomes listed are as recorded in the meeting minutes.

Website and communications contract
- Motion: Approve entering into a contract with FinalSight (branded as FinalSite in the presentation) to upgrade district websites, unify mass notifications and add a mobile app and SharePoint integration. Initial startup/implementation cost cited as $3,000; the vendor proposal described a first‑year cost of $29,000 (startup plus hosting) and $26,000 annually thereafter for hosting and services.
- Outcome: Approved by the board. District staff said references show the vendor serves other New Hampshire districts; the contract term and annual renewal pricing will be subject to normal procurement and budget oversight.

Overnight field trip for summer PE adventure class
- Motion: Approve an overnight field trip to North Woodstock (tent camping and guided Pemigewasset [Pemmy] kayaking) for a summer condensed PE class to earn 0.5 credit. Adventure/venture provider will supply tents and guides.
- Outcome: Approved. One board member (Brie) abstained because of a conflict (family involvement).

Position reallocation (Pollard)
- Motion: Reallocate one Pollard kindergarten position code (control code 1138) to an elementary grades 1–5 position because projected kindergarten enrollment will be below needed thresholds while grade‑2 enrollment increased.
- Outcome: Approved.

Budget transfers
- Special education: Transfer totaling $130,000 to cover outstanding special education costs for fiscal year 2025; sources included repair/maintenance and tuition lines. Outcome: Approved.
- Facilities (Canopy): Transfer of $41,548.54 from several custodial and facilities lines to cover additional canopy project costs. Outcome: Approved.

CIP committee bylaws
- Membership: The board amended the CIP committee membership language to allow “up to 4 school board members” (original bylaws listed four board members, one from each town) to provide scheduling flexibility while retaining multi‑town representation. Outcome: Approved.
- Budget committee representation: The board set the committee allocation to “up to 2” budget‑committee members. Outcome: Approved.
- Capital threshold: The committee had recommended raising the definition of a capital improvement from $30,000 to $100,000. The board approved changing the threshold to $100,000. Outcome: Approved (one abstention recorded in committee voting; the board’s meeting recorded an abstention by one member on the motion).
- Useful life: The board changed the minimum “useful life” threshold used for CIP projects from 3 years to 5 years. Outcome: Approved.

Other procedural votes
- Minutes (public and nonpublic) from the May 23, 2025 meetings: Approved.
- Personnel nominations and reappointments (two professional renominations cited in the packet): Approved.
- Motion to enter nonpublic session under RSA 91‑A:3, II(c): Approved by roll call.

Lease prepayment
- Discussion: District finance staff presented an informational proposal to prepay phase 1 of a lease (prepayment amount cited as $3,077,415) to realize interest savings (staff estimated ~$1,207,039). The board discussed timing and public notice; members agreed by consensus to defer a decision until the June 19 meeting to allow wider public notice and additional review.

Next steps: staff will finalize contract documents and bring back any required signature packages; Facilities will report signage costs for the gymnasium naming and administration will return with lease prepayment details for June 19.

Student representatives — who said they formed their house of representatives in fall 2023 and worked with staff on youth participatory action research — told the board they surveyed parents, students and staff, analyzed the results and chose three priority areas: building relationships, safety and discipline.

Student presenters described several concrete projects. They created a “positivity post office,” where students and teachers can drop positive notes; a poster campaign reminding students that words have the power to harm or uplift; and a grade‑level suggestion box. Students reported the positivity post office had distributed more than 763 letters so far. Members of a related club, Hearts United, described work to lower racism and bullying, spread kindness and celebrate diversity, including displays for Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and a “Tigers around the World” map showing students’ home countries.

Students asked the board to help expand the work. Suggestions included connecting Hearts United with elementary school student councils so younger children can build the same habits earlier and asking board members to visit TRMS or attend a meeting once a month to stay on the group’s radar. Board members responded that several nearby districts have been watching Timberlane’s student‑led work and that the board would explore appointing a school board member to attend future student meetings.

Board chair Jack Krieger and other members praised the students’ work and described plans to have a school board ad‑hoc member attend student meetings. Krieger said district leaders have shared the students’ presentation with administrators in at least four surrounding districts that are considering similar programs.

Students also asked for a small amount of funding to bring in guest speakers and for support on cross‑grade projects and monthly kindness raffles. Several board members and administrators offered to help connect students with resources and to put the students’ requests on the board’s agenda for follow‑up.

The board took no formal vote on the presentation; members thanked students for their time and encouraged continued work.","TRMS students described youth‑led projects including a positivity post office, a behavior chart tied to core values, and an outreach club called Hearts United.
