COVID-19: Claremont vaccination site moves to Newport next week
Modified: 4/3/2021 2:50:36 PM
NEWPORT, N.H. The Sullivan County COVID-19 vaccination site at River Valley Community College in Claremont is closing next week, according to the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services.
Beginning on Thursday, the new site will be the former Dollar Store in the Shaw’s Plaza at 62 John Stark Highway in Newport.
“We continue efforts to move vaccination sites indoors wherever possible, to increase our throughput, allow for easier social distancing and to avoid bad weather,” Jake Leon, a DHHS spokesman, said in an email.
Appointments scheduled for Claremont on April 8 or later will instead take place at the new site in Newport at the same date and time, Leon said.
Rivendell Interstate School District facing drop in enrollment, staffing cuts
Modified: 1/24/2021 9:49:49 PM
ORFORD Officials in the Rivendell Interstate School District are debating whether to propose staff cuts, including the elimination of at least one teaching post, to head off a possible $650,000 spending increase projected for the next school year.
The proposal comes as Rivendell has seen a 4.5% drop in enrollment, in part from homeschooling during the COVID-19 pandemic.
At a budget forum last week, Superintendent Barrett Williams said that if the School Board takes no action, fixed costs could drive the district’s 2021-2022 budget up by about 5.7%.
To prevent voters from facing that number at Town Meeting in March, he’s proposed two plans, both of which would trim staff and services.
