BERLIN â The smallest graduating class in school history celebrated the highs and lows of its school years during commencement exercises Friday afternoon. For the second consecutive year, graduation ceremonies were held outside on Gaydo Field in the shadow of Mounts Forist and Jasper. Class President Kyra Woodward lead the procession in and graduate Nicole Reynolds sang the national anthem. In his welcoming remarks, Berlin Middle High School Principal Michael Kelley promised to avoid the term âCOVID-19â but noted the Class 2021 had endured both a school reorganization and a pandemic in their final years at high school. âItâs certainly been a tumultuous two years for the young men and women in front of us,â he said.
BERLIN â The board of education delivered a much improved financial picture when it had its second budget meeting with the city council Monday night. Superintendent of Schools Julie King reminded the council that when she presented the districtâs budget back in March it was looking at an increase of $1.29 million in expenditures coupled with a $2.2 million cut in revenues. At the time she said she expected the budget figures would change and King reported they have changed for the better. The district is still working to get qualified families to sign up for free and reduced lunch â a factor the state uses to determine education aid. Many did not bother sign up because federal funds this year made the program free for all students.
BERLIN â For her 38 years of work in education, Berlin Superintendent of Schools Julie King was recognized with the prestigious 2021 Sylvia Evans Citizenship Award. The award is given out annually by Coos County Family Health Services to honor the âextraordinary, often unrecognized contributions that women have made to the families of our region.â The presentations were made Tuesday afternoon in an outdoor ceremony at Veterans Memorial Park in Berlin. âJulie King has devoted her entire career to improving the lives of North Country residents. As a teacher, a principal, and more recently as superintendent of Berlin Public Schools, Julie has prioritized the needs of our North Country youth and their families; she shows us her commitment to improving outcomes for our most cherished resource â our children â every single day,â said Berlin High Director of Special Services Martha Miller in nominating King.
BERLIN â The Berlin school district moved to five-day-a-week in-person learning Monday after Gov. Chris Sununu rejected the districtâs request for a waiver. The district sought a waiver to be able to finish the remaining eight weeks of the school year in its hybrid mode. Superintendent of Schools Julie King said the district was told late Wednesday afternoon that the governor had denied the waiver request. Anticipating Sununu was unlikely to approve the waiver, school administration, staff and teachers spent hours working on a back-up plan that they have now put in place. The changes being implemented to comply with the governorâs order were outlined at Thursdayâs school board meeting. King stressed that a lot of work went into the new schedule which required changing class schedules, bus runs and duty schedules. She said it was like August all over again when the hybrid plan for the school year was developed and the schools prepared.

ANDROSCOGGIN VALLEY â Local school officials were still scrambling Monday to learn more about Gov. Chris Sununu's order that all schools in the state must reopen fully five days a week by April 19. Both Berlin and Gorham schools operate in a hybrid mode, with a majority of students in-school and some in remote learning. All were caught off guard by Sununuâs announcement Thursday afternoon. At the Berlin school board meeting Thursday night, Superintendent of Schools Julie King told the board she had heard the order just two hours earlier on television and had immediately emailed N.H. Commissioner of Education Frank Edelblut to get more information.
ANDROSCOGGIN VALLEY â This Sunday, March 21 is âWayne King Pay It Forwardâ day at the Gorham town common. The day is dedicated to performing acts of kindness in memory of King, who served as director of special services for SAU 20. King passed away unexpected on Feb. 4 and his family asked that in lieu of flowers and gifts, people âperform an act of kindness or make someoneâs day by sharing a smile and some laughter.â His friends, co-workers, and students decided to take it a little further and started a Facebook page where people could look for acts to do and where people in need of an act of kindness could ask and where people could share their stories and deeds. The request to pay-it-forward in honor of King has since blossomed into a coordinated campaign with Pay It Forward cards to keep the acts going and a special day dedicated to King this Sunday, one day before what would have been his 55th birthday.
BERLIN â Presenting the school boardâs proposed 2021-2022 school districtâs budget to the city council Thursday night, Superintendent of Schools Julie King described it as âfluidâ with uncertain state education funding and an ongoing pandemic. King said the general fund request, including capital improvement items, totals $20.5 million, an increase of $1.29 million or 6.7 percent over the current budget. Anticipated revenues are $11.7 million, down $2.1 million from the current budget. King said that last year in addition to the state adequacy aid of $10.29 million, the city received a one time state education appropriation of $1.98 million. The city spent $928,622 of that appropriation on the school general fund and capital improvement budget. The remaining approximately $1 million was used to reduce the local school property tax rate, resulting in a $5.28 decrease in the school tax.

BERLIN â The COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the former Brown School will be up and operating this Thursday and Friday, serving those who have scheduled appointments. The state last Friday started rolling out Phase 1B of its overall vaccination plan, signing up those 65 and older as well as those medically vulnerable. Individuals are urged to register through the state at vaccines.nh.gov or by calling 211. And register they did. By mid-Saturday, 175,000 people had registered, over half the 300,000 people the state estimates meet the criteria for Phase 1B. âTodayâs roll-out exceeded expectations and the teams across state government deserve immense credit for their role in making today such a great success,â Gov. Chris Sununu said in a statement issued Friday afternoon. âBased on preliminary sign-ups we will be ready to hit the ground running and will vaccinate the hundreds of thousands of folks in Phase 1B as quickly as the federal government delivers it.â
