Pandemic Precautions: Because of COVID-19, drive-thru voting on the Claremont School District warrant will be conducted from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 9, at three locations. Ward I will vote at Stevens High School; Ward II, Claremont Middle School; and Ward III, Disnard Elementary School.
Budget: The only appropriation on the school district warrant this year is the proposed $37.78 million budget for the 2021-22 school year.
School Board Chairman Frank Sprague said there are no separate warrant articles because last year voters approved using almost $3 million in one-time state money for several capital projects and establish two reserve funds for building renovations and bus repair and replacement.

LEBANON A group of communities who fear a return to New Hampshire’s “donor town” system of education funding is moving to re-form a coalition that opposed past efforts to funnel money from property-rich municipalities to their less-fortunate neighbors.
Under a proposal put forward by the city of Portsmouth, the Coalition Communities would pool money for a lobbyist and other “related experts” to advocate on their behalf at the Statehouse, according to Lebanon City Manager Shaun Mulholland.
He said Portsmouth officials are now working to craft a memorandum of understanding to govern the coalition, which once boasted 34 members, including Grantham, Hanover, New London and Sunapee.
