School Boards

SAU 70 has four school boards, the Hanover, Norwich, Dresden and SAU 70 boards. The Board's primary responsibility is the legislation, development and maintenance, of district policies and working with the superintendent and building administration in the the crafting of a budget to deliver and defend to the voters.

The school boards chose to contract with BoardDocs, a web-based delivery system of Board documents and agenda items. School Board meeting agendas, attachments, and minutes can now be found on BoardDocs.

School year Board minutes from 2011-2012 to present can be found in the library section on BoardDocs. For older minutes, kindly contact the Superintendent's Office at 603-643-6050.

Open Meeting Law Information

Open Meeting Law Information

Procedures for submitting a notice of an open meeting law violation:

1. Provide the Norwich School Board with a written notice that alleges a specific violation and requests a specific cure of the violation.

2. Upon receiving the notice, the Norwich School Board has 10 calendar days to respond publicly by either:

a. acknowledging the violation and stating an intent to cure it within 14 calendar days; or

b. denying that any violation occurred and thus no cure is necessary.

3. If the Norwich School Board does not respond within 10 calendar days, it is considered a denial of the violation for purposes of enforcement.

4. If the Norwich School Board acknowledges the violation, they must correct it within 14 calendar days in an open meeting by:

a. Either ratifying, or declaring as void, any action taken at or resulting from:

i. A meeting that was not noticed in accordance with subsection 312(c) of the open meeting law; or

ii. A meeting that a person or the public was wrongfully excluded from attending; or

iii. An executive session or portion thereof not authorized under subdivisions 313(a)(1)-(10) of this title; and

b. adopting specific measures that actually prevent future violations.

5. After either acknowledging or denying a violation, or after the 14-day cure period has passed for acknowledged violations, the Attorney General or anyone affected by the violation can file a lawsuit in the Civil Division of the Superior Court. This lawsuit can seek injunctions or declaratory judgments. Such lawsuits must be filed within one year of the meeting where the violation occurred.
