I. Call to Order13

Chair of the Souhegan Cooperative School Board, Mr. John Glover, called the meeting to 14 order at 6:04PM. 15

II. Discussion16

He noted that tonight the SCSB will be discussing pool testing for Covid mitigation. It is 17 something that the Task Force had originally considered then removed and the SCSB never got a 18 chance to discuss it. His role is to facilitate the discussion, and they will entertain public 19 comment. 20

They have a duty under the law as a school board to provide a clean, safe and healthy school 21 environment for all students. Covid-19 continues today and threatens their responsibility under 22 the law. They want to have an in person learning experience, that lasts as long as they can 23 muster. There are certain mitigations that they cannot do such as socially distance or offer dual 24 modalities. They do not have an ability to contact trace and only have control over the students in 25 the school building but not outside of the school setting. On the other hand, they can have no in 26 person learning and have all remote learning, but they do not want to do that. They can require 27 masks of everyone which they do not want to do. They can offer lunch outside, manage traffic 28 patterns, enable certain classes to go outside, and offer larger spaces for learning for social 29 distancing. 30

One of the challenges is trying to figure out how big the risk is. There are a lot of uncertainties 31 and they do not know how the delta variant will affect children. There are opportunities for 32 breakthrough cases. Having an ability to test our students, on some frequency, will offer them the 33 ability to gather empirical data, and it is fully funded. 34

Consent Agenda Item #1

3

Some of the questions of the testing program that need to be answered are the reliability of the 35 data, what to do with a positive test result, social/ emotional effects of testing. They are here to 36 decide if they want to add that to the toolbox of Covid mitigation. 37

Mr. Glover opened it up for board member commentary. 38

He inquired about the parameters, for pool testing for students. That program would yield a 39 result in 24 hours. One question is to decide if it would require certain students to participate or 40 if it will be an opt in strategy. He would need board member feedback and is outlining it for 41 discussion. These are the options that they have. 42

He noted that he is looking for feedback on A) is this something they should seriously consider 43 and B) if so, under what circumstances should this be deployed. 44

Ms. Taylor asked about the scientific evidence that supports asymptomatic testing of vaccinated 45 and unvaccinated students. 46

Mr. Glover replied that he does not have that information. In his personal opinion, gathering 47 empirical data is helpful. They do not know about asymptomatic transmission and there are 48 Covid cases of people that have been vaccinated. 49

Ms. Taylor asked about asymptomatic testing. 50

Mr. Glover replied that the pool test would be a PCR test, which detects asymptomatic cases. 51

Ms. Taylor asked if they looked into NH DHHS for asymptomatic testing. She added that they 52 do not recommend it. They have a problem with testing students without symptoms. It is not 53 recommended by NH DHHS and CDC. 54

Ms. Grund added that with pool testing it is a lot of work for a really low statistic. It will not help 55 them with the amount of work and effort. She does not believe that it is the way to go. 56

Mr. Coughlan mentioned that there is a case of cognitive dissonance here with two different 57 messages from the state. 58

Ms. Taylor remarked that she looked at the CDC website today. 59

Mr. Coughlan asked if was updated recently. He countered with pool testing it is 15 minutes per 60 week to get a sample. 61

Ms. Grund noted that is a less than 1% hit rate. She would like Advisory to check in. 62

Mr. Coughlan added that they do not know what the delta variant will do in the fall. 63

Ms. Peters mentioned that they have not done it here, but other places have. 64

Ms. Grund remarked that for any type of testing she would like to see the school status in orange 65 going into red. They are not anywhere close, and students have been around each other all 66 summer. She would like Advisory to check how kids are doing mentally first. 67

4

Mr. Coughlan asked Superintendent, Mr. Adam Steel, what would happen if a pool comes back 68 positive. 69

Mr. Steel replied that part of the policy of the school has to be what they do in response to that. 70 Typically, the process promoted by the company who has the contract with state is to do antigen 71 rapid testing for those students. Antigen tests are not great with asymptomatic cases. We are 72 going to give the parents the choice of getting their student tested on their own or being out of 73 school for a period of time to prove that they are not a carrier of that case. 74

Ms. Taylor asked if that was the entire pool. 75

Mr. Steel replied yes, that testing company recommended 10, it does not have to be 10. 76

Ms. Peters asked if you opt into pool testing you are essentially opting into other testing at some 77 point. 78

Mr. Steel replied, yes. 79

Mr. Glover asked for clarification. 80

Mr. Steel remarked that he is not in support of anyone being tested. However, if a parent opts 81 into pool testing, they would be opting into follow up testing as well should their child be part of 82 a positive pool test result. 83

Ms. Taylor asked about cost. 84

Mr. Steel replied if they don’t want to take an antigen rapid test at the school, which would be 85 free, and wanted to get their own PCR test outside of school it would be at their own expense. 86

Ms. Taylor noted that they have students in their school that are vaccinated. The CDC and the 87 NH DHHS does not recommend testing vaccinated students. Even if they test positive, they do 88 not need to be quarantined, and only wear masks. 89

Mr. Glover added that they do not know who is vaccinated and they cannot ask. 90

Ms. Peters noted that you have to trust the parents with some of that control. 91

Mr. Glover remarked that they have an obligation to control what they can control. They should 92 all encourage positive personal responsibility. The advantage is that you can be ahead of the 93 situation and they can nip it in the bud. At the same time, they can put it as an optional opt in 94 thing and no one would participate. 95

Ms. Grund commented that they have not voted on the reopening documents. The delta variant is 96 different but last year the cases were managed well. It is less than 1% hit rate of testing. 97

Mr. Steel mentioned that it is 1 out of every 150. 98

Mr. Glover added that they could survey the community data which is part of the reopening plan. 99

Mr. Coughlan noted that they handled last year quite well. If they do the same this year, they 100 might see a lot of people quarantined unnecessarily. 101

5

Mr. Steel commented that the NH DHHS guidelines have changed in that only the student would 102 quarantine not the whole class. 103

Ms. Peters mentioned that they are looking at the news in other locations. She encouraged 104 classes to use larger areas in the school. 105

Mr. Grondstra remarked that he is in favor of using the NH DHHS and CDC guidance. He 106 echoed Ms. Peters. 107

Mr. Coughlan added that there are federal funds to do this. 108

Mr. Glover noted that the Governor has put it on the local districts to decide. If they are going to 109 change it, they need to know now and have that discussion and do it as a collective. He 110 recognizes the benefits, but it is not easy. 111

Mr. Torres remarked that he sees both sides and wants to hear feedback. In our current 112 environment, if they were to do testing, it has to be optional. He does not think that right now, 113 testing is required. He could not support it at this point. 114

Mr. Coughlan asked if optional was an option. 115


Mr. Coughlan asked if they could opt in during October, when circumstances could change. 117


Mr. Glover asked about the federal funding. 119

Mr. Steel replied that it is a block grant with $41 or 46m for the entire state. As of right now, 120 there are only two districts that have begun doing it. He has no concerns that the state will run 121 out of funds for this. 122

Ms. Grund noted that she is not in support unless they see things going in a bad direction. She 123 asked to take a straw poll. 124

Ms. Peters remarked that they should hear from the public. 125

III. Public Comment126

Mr. Timothy Kachmar, 15 Mack Hill Rd Amherst NH, noted that he is a regulatory scientist and 127 in the has been in the pharmaceutical industry since 1995. He has a background with FDA drug 128 approval. He added that the test will test for the RNA from the virus and not the Delta variant. 129 There is a lag between the variants and a lot of coronaviruses out there. You could have a 130 perfectly normal person that tests positive from a cold last year. 131

He read from the CDC’s PCR Test Manual 07 21 2021 and asked why have they not validated it 132 with the actual virus. The probes that they use in the test diagnostic are not used in the actual 133 virus. Not once in the document do they mention viral isolates. Whatever testing they decide on 134

6

they will be using something completely inaccurate. To use testing to make decisions off of is135 crazy, let the kids go to school. 136

Mr. Peter de Bruyn Kops, 377 Boston Post Rd, Amherst, NH, commented that he has a little 137 familiarity with the boarding school in Massachusetts last year. He encouraged the board to dig a 138 little more into the PCR testing. You can do a lot of harm to the kids with a false positive. He 139 would work hard to avoid attaching stigma. It is a tricky problem. 140

Ms. Elizabeth Bryson, SHS student, commented that the weekly testing of SHS student athletes 141 puts and unnecessary burden of time and stress on athletes and other students involved in 142 extracurricular activities. To ask them to put up with the testing is exceedingly unfair. She 143 thanked the board for their consideration. 144

Ms. Brielle Berube, SHS student, added that she is not in support for testing for athletics. It 145 would cause a false positive and take them out of school. It would cause more stress for the 146 students. 147

Mr. Chris Ager, 4 Edgewood Run, Amherst NH, commented that they should consider the non-148 Covid effects on the students. Many of them lost a year of their youth and you don’t need to 149 inject artificial fear. He thanked the board for their time. 150

An Amherst resident noted that her son is three. She added that they should not be making 151 students do what they do not want to do. She commented that the PCR test is sterilized with 152 ethylene oxide which is a cancer-causing agent. It should not be a thought. 153

Ms. Keelin Llewellyn inquired how would Covid pool testing work if she plays athletics through 154 Souhegan but attends the Derryfield School. 155

Mr. Glover replied that he does not have the answer, he will research, it is a unique case. 156

Mr. Peters asked how many are homeschooled and do athletics. 157

Mr. Steel replied that it is a decent number. 158

Ms. Lee Kachmar, 15 Mack Hill Road, Amherst, NH, noted her background as an 159 epidemiologist. She discussed that blanket testing is nonsense, the tests do not test anything. It 160 will add stress and nonsense. She suggested fever checks before a game or practice. If they have 161 a fever it is a sign of infection. 162

The masks are a whole other issue. There was a study that infant to 3-year-old had a 22-point IQ 163 drop in cognition. They went to 105 to 79. IQ’s in the low 70’s translates to a mild case of 164 cerebral palsy. Putting masks on kids is criminal, kids don’t get Covid. She noted that it is not 165 the board’s area of expertise and noted that Mr. Glover has been sick. Testing is a stigma when it 166 is unnecessary, and they need to go back to old school measures. This is not the Norovirus, 167 which is very airborne. To treat it over a year later like it is a bubonic plague is misguided and 168 wrong. They need to bring the fear level down for their children. There has been a 50% increase 169 in suicide in teens because of Covid and it is not based on science at all. She is concerned about 170

7

the funding they will receive. She worked 3 month on a Covid vaccine and resigned. She does 171 not think that they are bad people just misinformed. 172

Ms. Kachmar finalized her comments by adding that she will be at the SAU meeting on 173 Thursday. 174

Mr. Greg Fritz, Amherst NH, inquired what problem are they trying to solve. 175

Mr. Coughlan replied that they do not want to go back to remote schooling. 176

Mr. Fritz remarked that they should open the school without masks and testing. He added that he 177 is surprised that they are not trying to save children. 178

Mr. Glover responded that it is not the general policy to engage in dialogue. Their goal is to have 179 a clean, safe and healthy learning environment. There are uncertainties with Covid and they have 180 limited tools. Masks are in the toolbox. This discussion surrounds testing in keeping schools 181 open. 182

Mr. Fritz asked if the students are in danger in the schools. 183

Mr. Glover noted that they will decide, and this is the first time that they are discussing this. 184 They owe it to the board and the public to have this discussion. 185

Mr. Fritz added that he is still trying to understand the problem that they are solving. He asked if 186 they are trying to prevent death. He believes that it is the pressure from the media they are 187 watching. He noted that there is no problem here and thanked the board for their time. 188

Ms. Coberly Behn, 1 New South Drive, Amherst NH, remarked that in the past there were a lot 189 of unknowns, they need a breath of fresh air and no fear. The kids need to be mask free or 190 optional. Her children and their friends have had a lot of stress. She encouraged no masks and no 191 fear. The CDC has gone back and forth they need to stand up for the children now. 192

Ms. Kachmar added that kids are going to get sick. She inquired how long are they going to keep 193 the masks on. 194

Mr. Glover asked for further public comment. 195

Ms. Taylor read the public comment from Community Council Liaison, Ms. Maddy McFee: 196

“ Respectively testing every student who participates in extra curricular seems excessive, 197 especially if they have no symptoms. I completely understand wanting to take extra precautions 198 but testing every single athlete seems extreme. Some of my peers have voiced concerns about 199 when the testing would take place and how long it would take. If every athlete is getting tested, 200 they are concerned it will take time out of their sports practice time or force their practices to be 201 pushed later than they already have been with the later start times. I believe students would be 202 willing to get tested if they have symptoms or if they have been around those with symptoms so 203 forcing weekly testing seems unnecessary. 204

Thank you, 205

Maddy McFee” 206

Ms. Kachmar commented that the testing should be done at the doctor. The problems of testing 207 are enormous. 208

Mr. Glover asked for more comments from the public. 209

There were no further comments. 210

IV. Discussion211

Mr. Glover asked for other board comments. He suggested they table the issue at this time. He 212 asked if they could evaluate this at a later date rather than eliminating this completely. 213

Ms. Peters noted that they have not received notes from parents that have been in support. 214

Mr. Coughlan inquired if there was a survey in the Spring. 215

Mr. Steel replied, yes, a PowerSchool survey went out in the Spring. 216

Ms. Peters motioned not to procced with any mandatory testing at this time. Mr. 217 Grondstra seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous. Motion passed. (7-0) 218

Mr. Glover thanked the public for their attendance and comments, it is important to hear from 219 them. 220

Mr. Torres noted that he wanted to reserve the right to reassess. They are not doing their jobs if 221 they do not reassess at a later date. 222

Mr. Steel noted that he was the one that brought this forward based on a concept the reopening 223 taskforce. At first blush it seemed to make sense. They went through the process with parent 224 subgroups and he has heard from a lot of parents. The survey this spring should not be relied 225 upon. What should be relied upon is our task force had lukewarm support for this at best and he 226 has taken his support away from it. The task force deserves recognition in helping to represent 227 the different stakeholders. 228

He concluded his comments with support for the Chair and the community. 229

V. Meeting Adjourned230

Mr. Grondstra motioned to adjourn the meeting at 7:30PM. Ms. Taylor seconded the 231 motion. The vote was unanimous, motion passed. 232

I. Public Comment20

No Public Comment 21

II. Reopening Plan22

Mr. Glover recapped that they had a SAU Board meeting last Thursday. The outcome was that 23 masks were only required in status orange. The Amherst School Board and the Mont Vernon 24 School Board has already met, and they are requiring masks in yellow and orange status. It will 25 be up to the SCSB to will open SHS in status for all persons in the building to wear masks. 26

Ms. Peters referenced page 17 of the agenda packet. 27

Mr. Glover replied that it was a majority vote of the SAU not a Souhegan Board vote. 28

He clarified that for policies it gets voted at the SAU board and comes down to the individual 29 levels. That is why they are discussing it here. It is a technical distinction. How the SCSB 30 members vote at the SAU is an indication of how they may vote. 31


10

Ms. Grund mentioned that she supports having masks for orange status. Their students have the 32 opportunity to be vaccinated. It is the one mitigating factor they have. 33

Mr. Grondstra clarified what Ms. Grund stated. He added that he agreed. 34

Mr. Torres commented that he supports masks in orange status and even in yellow. One of the 35 things they need to consider is the current capacity of the hospitals. The hospitals are pretty 36 strained right now. 37

Ms. Peters suggested a verbiage change from “optional to requested”. 38

Ms. Taylor noted that she can hear the meeting. It is impractical for her to be here and she is 39 alone. She has not had enough ability to hear what they have been discussing. 40

Mr. Glover recapped the discussion. They are talking right now about what metric masks would 41 be required. 42

Ms. Taylor noted that she is comfortable with no masks in yellow, and she could go either way in 43 status orange . 44

Mr. Grondstra motioned to change the Souhegan mask standard for status yellow optional 45 and change orange status to required. Mr. Coughlan seconded the motion. 46

Mr. Grondstra asked for discussion. 47

Ms. Peters commented that she reviewed the Governor’s Executive Order. She would be more 48 comfortable with the Governor’s wording. There are some people that are not able to wear masks 49 due to “medical or developmental issue”. 50

She amended Mr. Grondstra’s motion to, in the event that masks are required, let a student and 51 their family attest that they are unable to wear a mask due to a medical or social/ emotional 52 disability. 53

Mr. Glover noted that they have a motion on the table, and it might make sense to refine it. 54

Ms. Peters clarified that in the event that masks are required, let a student and their 55 family attest that they are unable to wear a mask due to a medical or social/ emotional 56 disability. Ms. Taylor seconded the amendment. 57

Mr. Coughlan mentioned that in orange status they would be in a challenging state. He supports 58 it in orange, but universal coverage. 59

Ms. Grund added that she supports Mr. Coughlan. 60

Ms. Taylor noted that she supports no masks in orange status, and optional. 61

Ms. Peters commented that she is not going above the Governor’s order. 62

Ms. Torres added that they should just require masks at all levels. Anyone that says that they 63 cannot wear one can opt out. 64

11

Ms. Grund inquired what do they do when it reaches 100 students or more. 65

Ms. Peters asked Ms. McFee for the opinion of Community Council. 66

Ms. Maddy McFee, SHS Community Council Liaison, replied that she can see students taking 67 off their masks. She is not too sure. 68

Mr. Grondstra added that they may not have to be a medical note however; they look for parental 69 permission. To him it is sufficient. it provides an opportunity for the student not to wear one. 70

Ms. Peters withdrew her amendment as long as Mr. Grondstra reworded his amendment. 71

Mr. Grondstra motioned to allow an exception from mask wearing, whether it be from a 72 professional or parent. Ms. Peters seconded the motion. 73

Mr. Glover added that it is insufficient, and it defeats the whole entire purpose. It should be a 74 relatively high bar to overcome and should be for a medical reason. He cannot support the 75 amendment. 76

Ms. Peters responded that she is going back to what she said last week in trusting the parents. 77

Mr. Coughlan asked for clarification. 78

Mr. Glover recapped the amendment. 79

Mr. Coughlan mentioned that he will support this because he is in favor of masks in orange 80 status. 81

Mr. Glover asked Ms. Taylor for questions. 82

Ms. Taylor asked if it was indoor only. 83

She did not have any further comments. 84

Mr. Glover restated the amendment was for masks to be required in status orange, with 85 the exception of masks with doctor or parent note. 86

Roll call: Taylor- Yes, Grondstra- yes, Coughlan-Yes, Glover-No, Grund- No, Peters- Yes, 87 Torres- No. Motion passed (4-3) 88

Mr. Glover added that the motion as amended, would be that masks would be required 89 indoors students staff , guests for status orange and yellow remains optional unless parent 90 or doctor note. 91

Ms. Taylor asked if the masks in orange would be for indoor spaces. 92

Mr. Glover replied yes. 93

He commented that they have limited options to mitigate the risk. They are fortunate to have 94 vaccinations available and they cannot double the size for the school. The next top line 95 mitigation is for everyone to wear masks indoors regardless of vaccination status. It is our choice 96

12

and our duty to find guidance from the public health agencies. In status green, it is a little bit of 97 a push in that guidance. They are not in crisis mode yes. 98

Ms. Peters added that last week a majority of this board preferred masks being optional. 99

Mr. Torres mentioned that he was at the SAU board meeting online and it was pretty heated. He 100 recommended that they make masks at all levels and let anyone opt out with a doctors note or 101 parent note. 102

Mr. Glover inquired if children that return back to school need a physical examination. 103

Mr. Steel clarified that they do require certain medical information that register for school. He 104 added that he believes that it is for freshman year for athletics. 105

Ms. Taylor added that according to the NH website, 1/3 of aged 12-19-year old’s are vaccinated. 106 She asked if there was any data to support the percentages. 107

Mr. Steel replied that he does not have that data. 108

Mr. Glover agreed. 109

Ms. Taylor mentioned that at least 1/3 of their students are vaccinated, it is a pretty strong 110 estimate. 111

Ms. Grund commented that it goes back to Mr. Grondstra’s comment about having more data. 112 The kids have been running around with each other all summer. In status yellow there are too 113 many factors. 114

Mr. Glover asked if they can require the disclosure of a positive Covid test results. 115

Mr. Steel replied that they cannot require the disclosure of test results. They can request that 116 parents share with them. 117

Mr. Coughlan added that Covid is reportable disease and then they in turn can tie it to the school. 118 They cannot force them to tell us. 119

Ms. Peters remarked that people do take this seriously. Parents do share information to the 120 school nurse. 121

Mr. Glover commented that the fidelity of the metrics they have is as limited as the abilities to 122 protect ourselves against the ongoing pandemic. They have choices based on those limitations. 123 He, personally, would like to enable the Superintendent to have tools in the toolbox in order to 124 meet the goal. There are limitations in disclosure, and they can encourage it. They cannot know 125 the vaccination status of the students. If they were in a mask optional situation, then they already 126 lost. They need to react more in real time with the limited metrics they have. 127

Mr. Coughlan added that they should call the vote. 128

13

Mr. Glover noted that the motion is for masks to be required indoors for students, staff and 129 guests, etc.. except in cases of a student exempted for doctor of parent note, and masks 130 would be optional in yellow status. 131

Ms. Grund asked for clarification. 132

Mr. Glover noted that the one error in this is on the table on page 17 of the agenda packet. It 133 says, “indoor at Souhegan” it should say “indoor masks as determined at the SAU meeting”. It 134 would be required at orange and optional in yellow and green status. That is how the vote 135 happened at the SAU level. They made a motion to make masks optional in orange. 136

Ms. Peters asked if they vote for this right now, they are saying that they want optional in green, 137 recommended in yellow, required in orange unless parental or medical documentation for 138 exemption. If they vote no, they will go back to the starting board, but they have had previous 139 discussion. 140

Mr. Glover replied, yes. They have had previous discussion. 141

Peters-Yes, Torres-No, Grund-Yes, Glover-No, Coughlan-Yes, Grondstra-Yes, Taylor-Yes. 142 Motion passes. (5-2) 143

Mr. Coughlan motioned to remove the parental exception of opt out in orange status. Mr. 144 Torres seconded the motion. 145

Grondstra-No, Coughlan-Yes, Glover-Yes, Grund- Yes, Peters-No, Taylor- No, motion 146 passed (4-3) 147

Mr. Glover remarked that masks are required indoors, and a parent note will not be sufficient for 148 the removal of the mask in status orange. 149

Ms. Peters motioned that masks are optional or recommended in status yellow. Ms. Taylor 150 seconded the motion. 151

Mr. Glover mentioned that there is a lot of effort to go into orange. He added that he cannot 152 support the motion as presented. 153

Mr. Torres commented that he supports yellow status opt out with parental or doctors note. It is 154 not at the orange level yet and the last attempt to keep the school open. 155

Ms. Peters noted that some kids will get peer pressure to wear and not to wear masks. 156

Ms. Taylor commented that she disagrees that masks are the only mitigation that they can do. At 157 this age group students pitch in. If communicated properly, the students will respond. 158

Mr. Grondstra noted that everyone brings up good points. They are trying to raise these kids to 159 go into the world, this is another learning experience. 160

Mr. Glover added that he believes that he is right, they are talking about a pandemic that is not 161 over. When the guidance changes, they should change accordingly. Yellow is to get square with 162 the guidance. This threatens them from having an in-person experience. 163

14

Ms. Grund commented that because they are dealing with high school kids that they have to give 164 them a chance and it can be encouraged. She asked Mr. Steel for feedback. 165

Mr. Steel replied that it has been intense debate. They are ending up where their task force 166 started. They made some tweaks to metrics. He gave an example about a snowy January 167 morning. He is comfortable with parents making the choice once they have had the opportunity 168 to vaccinate their child. Additionally, he feels responsibility for children under age 12. From Jan 169 20th onward 94.9% who have been hospitalized for Covid -19 have been unvaccinated and 96-170 97% of deaths (from Jan 20th that have been unvaccinated). He is in support for parental choice 171 for those that have the option of vaccination. For that reason, he as well as the taskforce, 172 recommended that SHS start in status green or yellow with masks optional. 173

Mr. Glover added that SHS is able to go into green status is the availability of the vaccine. He is 174 very pleased that they have that. it is the only reason why the other schools are not in green 175 status. The only thing left in yellow mitigation is that parent meetings can be done remotely. 176

Ms. Taylor noted that they are a dynamic school board and can call an emergency meeting, they 177 have other options. High school students are capable of managing themselves. 178

Mr. Glover repeated the motion made by Ms. Peters 179

Masks are optional in status yellow. 180

Mr. Steel noted that he will add in “requested/encouraged”. 181

Ms. Taylor seconded the motion. 182

Peters- Yes, Grund-Yes, Glover- No, Coughlan- Yes, Taylor-Yes, Grondstra-Yes, Torres- 183 Yes. Motion passed (6-1) 184

Mr. Torres commented that he is in support for the younger children to wear masks. As long as 185 they have masks in orange and optional in yellow, he is in support. 186

Mr. Glover asked about how they direct the Superintendent to use ESSER funds for Covid 187 prevention. He asked the board for thoughts. 188

Ms. Peters asked Mr. Steel if he has ideas already. 189

Mr. Steel replied that they have had a few students that have signed up for the VLACS modality. 190 They want to support those students. He would prefer to save it for what they need to spend it on 191 when they identify what that is. 192

Ms. Peters asked how many students can the interventionist handle have before they add an 193 additional staff. 194

Assistant Superintendent, Mr. Steve Chamberlin, replied they can have 40-60 students. 195

Mr. Steel added that right now, SAU wide, they have about a dozen. The Interventionist is also 196 identified beyond the remote students but also to help with interventions in our schools. 197

15

Ms. Grund asked if they can utilize coaches, and domain leaders, rather than paying for an 198 interventionist. 199

Mr. Steel replied that they are going to find that the interventionist needs to do less at the High 200 School due to the resources they already have. 201

Ms. Peters inquired if a student tests positive and needs to be out for 10-14 days, do they have a 202 plan in place. 203

Mr. Steel replied that at Souhegan in particular, they have gotten adept with using Google 204 Classroom. They are able to support those students in that situation if they are able and well 205 enough. They will not be zooming into classes as they did last year. 206

Mr. Glover asked Ms. Taylor if she had a question about the ESSER funds. 207

Ms. Taylor remarked that she would prefer the ESSER funds not to be used for the 208 interventionist position for the high school. They already use about 50 VLACS classes. 209

Mr. Glover asked if the costs are based on the needs of the individual districts. 210

Mr. Steel replied yes. He would like to reserve that capability in the best interest of the students. 211

Mr. Glover noted some of that status levels have changed. He asked if there was anything that 212 other districts have done that they need to do differently. 213

Mr. Steel replied that on page 17 is the updated plan after the ASB and MVSB meetings. The 214 one substantive change to the change in the status level is the rate of active cases per 100,000. 215 On their website, they have updated their dashboard and reflects the color status change and as of 216 tonight, there are 16 active cases in Amherst and 0 in Mont Vernon. It is updated as of this 217 evening. 218

Mr. Glover asked for other comments. 219

Ms. Peters motioned to accept the metrics on page 19. Ms. Grund seconded the motion. 220

Ms. Taylor commented that she would have liked to have seen the age of the student body and 221 their risk for Covid, hospitalizations and death rates. It is not included, and she is willing to 222 compromise. 223

Mr. Glover asked if the factors are in order by priority. 224

Mr. Steel replied yes. 225

Mr. Glover asked if this required judgement to evaluate these factors and weigh them differently 226 based on the circumstances of the day. 227

He asked Mr. Steel if both of those statements are true. 228

Mr. Steel replied, yes. It is possible that they have 100 cases in SHS and 100 cases in Amherst. 229 They would then be in the red status. 230

16

He added that he would like to support Ms. Taylor’s comment about hospitalizations. He added 231 that there are percentage of staffed adult ICU beds available (10.3%) and percentage of staffed 232 hospital beds available ( 13.4%) and percentage of ventilators available (68.1%). He wants to 233 add this statistic in overtime and make it appropriate to their region. 234

Ms. Peters asked if he would come back next month with an update. 235

Mr. Steel replied yes. 236

Ms. Taylor mentioned that she meant the number of 12-19-year old’s that are in the hospital. 237

Mr. Steel replied that there are 122 Covid-19 hospitalizations and 18 suspect Covid 238 hospitalizations. 239

Mr. Glover asked for other questions. 240

Mr. Coughlan asked if they need to adopt the plan as amended. 241

Ms. Peters withdrew her motion. 242

Ms. Peters motioned to accept the reopening plan as amended. Ms. Grund seconded the 243 motion. 244

Ms. Taylor asked if the other schools will be evaluated differently for the color codes. 245

Mr. Steel replied yes, SHS is different than the other schools as of right now. 246

Mr. Glover called a roll call: Peters- Yes, Grund-Yes, Glover- Yes, Coughlan- Yes, Taylor-247 Yes, Grondstra-Yes, Torres- Yes. Motion passed. 248

He noted that there is a policy that is woefully out of date because it references the Governor’s 249 orders that are no longer in effect. It needs to be updated and should go through the Policy 250 Committee. They in turn will discuss and make recommendations to the larger SAU and then 251 down to the individual boards. He would submit this draft as a starting point. 252

Mr. Glover motioned for the school board to recommend to the SAU Policy Committee to 253 update and revise the existing policy on Personal Protective Measures. Mr. Coughlan 254 seconded the motion. 255

Mr. Coughlan asked Mr. Steel if this was an urgent policy. 256

Mr. Steel noted that the current policy is a year old. It is still in effect and is still fine. He has 257 drafted a plan that has been adopted by the SCSB and that is all he needs to open school. 258

Ms. Peters asked if he still needs an emergency policy with the other policy in place. 259

Mr. Steel replied yes; the policy itself gives him the authority to close school. If the for now it 260 makes sense to keep it. 261

Mr. Glover noted that they can still meet remotely. 262

17

Mr. Steel added that one of the Governor’s Emergency orders specifically changed the 263 requirements for RSA 91 for meetings to be held in public. As a result, they were able to do 264 those over zoom. When they expired and were not extended, that capability went away. There is 265 still an exception in the statute for remote meeting when emergency board meeting is called 266 which is atypical. He believes that there was a statute that was addressed by the legislature it was 267 tabled and there was a study committee to perhaps change RSA 91:A to enable boards to use 268 zoom or a remote capability. There might be something in the next legislative session that 269 enables that. 270

Mr. Glover explained the basis for his motion. She asked Ms. Taylor if she wanted a recap. 271

Ms. Taylor noted that she is going to abstain. She does not like having policies that are out of 272 date. 273

Mr. Coughlan added that there is work to be done and it will get completed faster than May. 274

Mr. Glover called a roll call; Taylor- Abstain, Coughlan- Yes, Grondstra- Yes, Glover- Yes, 275 Grund- Yes, Torres- Yes and Peters-Yes. (6-1) Motion passed. 276

III. Consent Agenda277

Mr. Coughlan motioned to accept the consent agenda items 1. June 14th, 2021 Draft 278 Minutes, as amended 2. June 2021 Treasurer’s Report, 3. July 2021 Treasurer’s Report, 4. 279 SCSD Budget Calendar, 5. SCSD June-July Facilities Update, 6. CNA EFT SCSB 2021, 7. 280 My School Bucks Memo, 8. Lease Agreement Memo, and 9. Lease Agreement 2021. Mr. 281 Grondstra seconded the motion. 282

Ms. Grund suggested that they do item #10 Student Handbook as a separate item as she has a lot 283 of questions. 284

Mr. Steel replied that they pull item #10 Student Handbook from the Consent Agenda, email him 285 and they can address it next month. The handbook is the recitation of existing policies so policies 286

Ms. Peters commented on the draft minutes from June 14th, 2021. 287

Line 398 changed from “Ms. Peters gave her experience with this topic.” 288

Changed to “Ms. Peters noted her concern is that they have a significant number of students 289 below the age of consent.” 290

Ms. Taylor noted that it was brought to her attention that the consent agenda is too fast. She 291 suggested that they spend more time considering what should be approved and what should be 292 acknowledgment. 293

Mr. Glover replied that there are 9 items included. He noted that it is tricky. 294

Mr. Coughlan mentioned, yes, they are approving minutes and then there are reports. They just 295 get them. 296

18

Mr. Steel asked the board if they preferred to have a section for reports received, and then 297 consent agenda for approval. 298

Ms. Taylor replied that they can discuss anything but define what is being approved by the 299 board. The Principal’s Report should not be voted by the board. It was suggested to her by 300 someone very knowledgeable. 301

Ms. Taylor noted that on line #167 she was not on the call. 302

Added to line #167 Ms. Taylor was not on the call (6-0) 303

Mr. Glover called a roll call; Taylor- Yes, Coughlan- Yes, Grondstra- Yes, Glover- Yes, 304 Grund- Yes, Torres- Yes and Peters-Yes. 305

IV. Principal’s Report306

Principal of SHS, Mr. Mike Berry, introduced Ms. Dana Curran, Dean of Faculty, and Mr. Jon 307 Barry, Dean of Students. He discussed the style of the board report. He commented on the style 308 of the Principal’s Report. He hopes the organization is something that the board finds appealing. 309 The report also includes inquiries, it is an effort for communication. He believes that it 310 encompasses the direction and is confident in the information as it is outlined. 311

Mr. Berry asked for questions. 312

Ms. Grund asked about the Saber Flex Period and if they are going to an actual classroom. 313

Mr. Berry replied yes, they put Saber Flex in the 9th and 10 grades. They are recommitting to the 314 Souhegan 6 and being in person. They will have an adult in the room as they navigate the 315 transition back. It is a period, that is not a free period. 316

Ms. Grund asked if a student cannot fill the whole period. 317

Mr. Berry replied that they can flex and pivot. They want to put them in the environment why 318 they grapple with time. 319

Ms. Curran added that it will be an exciting time for the students to do their work. 320

Mr. Glover asked about the student teacher ratio. 321

Mr. Berry replied 8-17. 322

Ms. Peters asked about senior pictures. 323

Mr. Berry replied that he is not sure but will look into it. 324

Mr. Steel replied that he is happy to answer that as well. 325

Ms. Grund asked about Portrait of a Graduate and what competencies are they mapping. 326

Ms. Curran replied that they used to have ALE’s and they were looking for and when they 327 looked at Portrait of a Graduate and what buckets are things falling into. They found that it is a 328 tool for them to communicate with students and parents in terms of those indicators. 329

19

Mr. Berry added that it is an example of that work through this document. 330

Ms. Taylor gave her support for the Handbook and Principal’s Report. It is meant to be 331 constructive criticism. She was concerned that the Board is not part of that process. 332

Mr. Berry replied that teacher voice has been a part of the process. They want to do is put that in 333 one representative group that partners with administration as they partner with community 334 council. When that did not happen, they needed that group. It was tabled on June 18th, but they 335 went through a process with the teachers and worked with them and elected people and now they 336 can partner with teachers and community council. 337

Ms. Taylor asked why are there not more board updates it would be helpful to know. 338

Mr. Steel added that they are receiving that update in the Principal’s Report. He oversaw closely 339 the process and to elect the staff steering committee members. He is in full support of the 340 process, faculty input, electing representatives. The process was very fair and very transparent. 341

Ms. Taylor asked who are the representatives. 342

Mr. Berry replied that at the time of this report it was not finalized. 343

Ms. Grund asked about the enrollment, students that left and came into the school. 344

Mr. Steel replied that October 1st is when they really track that. 345

Ms. Grund asked about the Friday before Labor Day a day off. 346

Mr. Steel responded that parents wanted a longer Labor Day weekend. The three, four, five, start 347 is desirable. 348

V. Community Council349

Ms. Maddy McFee, Community Council Liaison, noted that they are getting ready for the 350 elections and At Large representatives. She asked about the community member applicants. 351

Mr. Glover commented that Community Council can bring to the board, concern, question or 352 accolade, as a Council. When they are on their retreat they can discuss how and what they want 353 to bring to the board. 354

Ms. Taylor had no questions. 355

Mr. Glover asked about vacancies. 356

Mr. Steel replied that according to the bylaws there are 5 community representatives. 357

Mr. Grondstra added that it happens to be the right ratio this time, but not all 5 can be from 358 Amherst. 359

Ms. Taylor preferred not to have a student. 360

Ms. Grund added that they cannot deny. 361

20

Mr. Steel noted that it is up to the board. 362

Mr. Coughlan motioned to approve Lisa Eastland, Janet Dickinson, Christine Grayson, 363 and Heather Stein to Community Council for the 2021-2022 academic year. Ms. Grund 364 seconded the motion. 365

Mr. Glover called a roll call; Taylor- Yes, Coughlan- Yes, Grondstra- Yes, Glover- Yes, 366 Grund- Yes, Torres- Yes and Peters-Yes. 367

Mr. Coughlan motioned to approve Eddie Barnes to Community Council. Ms. Grund 368 seconded the motion. 369

Ms. McFee added that she would expect them to run for an At Large position. 370

Mr. Berry responded that according to the bylaws, nothing says that a student cannot be on 371 Community Council. 372

Ms. Grund asked if someone can reach out to him and ask him if this was his intention. 373

Mr. Glover added that if the bylaws then they should reflect that, and Community Council 374 should clarify the ambiguity. 375

Mr. Glover called a roll call; Taylor- No, at this time, Coughlan- No, at this time, 376 Grondstra- No, at this time, Glover- No at this time , Grund- No, at this time, Torres- No, 377 at this time and Peters-No, at this time. 378

Mr. Steel suggested that they table one for the next meeting the priority is the Pilot OSS 379 program. 380

VI. Pilot OSS Program381

Principal Berry discussed that his is a reflection of that conversation between himself, Mr. Barry 382 and Mr. Chamberlin. They are taking a look at guiding and support of student accountability. 383 This is something that Mr. Chamberlin had in Hopkinton. They want the student and family to 384 know that they are not just being punitive and not judgmental. If you have a student out for that 385 amount of time, they are able to have an adult connect with them. The student might have made a 386 misstep, but they want them to feel that they are still cared about. 387

They will be funding this with the substitution line. It is an effective tool for them. He is happy 388 to answer questions. 389

Mr. Glover asked about the location. 390

Mr. Berry replied that is why it is TBD, these are for offenses such as, weapons, drugs, fighting. 391

Ms. Peters asked how many times does that situation happen. 392

Mr. Berry replied that in a non-Covid year, 10-25. 393

Mr. Steel replied that they may have been 10-12. 394

21

Mr. Berry remarked that there is rehabilitation through the Counseling office. They want to have 395 something in place, and they have good mentors that would be into this type or work. 396

Mr. Torres asked about the time determination. 397

Mr. Berry replied that it depends on the infraction. 398

Mr. Steel noted that he can delegate that to the Building Principal. 399

Mr. Berry replied that there is a lot of opportunity to change the behavior. 400

Mr. Berry replied that they are changing the way they are working with students and families. 401

Mr. Glover gave his support for the proposal. The duty of the mentor needs a little more to that 402 and there can be a little more framework. He asked about lunch time, breaks during the day, 403

Mr. Steel added Mr. Chamberlin brought this to them. He would prefer to have the pilot go as is. 404

Ms. Grund noted that this is great to keep a connection to the students. 405

Mr. Steel remarked that they will watch the budget line carefully. 406

Ms. Peters asked about ISS. 407

Mr. Berry explained that there will be students that their behaviors need to change as they 408 assimilate back into school. They are a little concerned about students being where they are 409 supposed to be and doing what they are supposed to do. This is built on respect, trust and 410 courage and the Souhegan 6. 411

Ms. Peters motioned to accept the OSS Proposal as written. Mr. Coughlan seconded the 412 motion. Motion passed. 413

Mr. Glover called a roll call; Taylor- Abstain , Coughlan- Yes, Grondstra- Yes, Glover- 414 Yes, Grund- Yes, Torres- Yes and Peters-Yes. 415

VII. Nomination416

Mr. Steel noted his nomination for a Spanish Teacher. 417

Mr. Grondstra motioned to elect Ms. Jacqueline Hathaway Rube, SHS Spanish Teacher, 418 Column D Step 11 starting salary of $64, 798. Mr. Coughlan seconded the motion. 419

Mr. Glover called a roll call; Taylor- Abstain, Coughlan- Yes, Grondstra- Yes, Glover- Yes, 420 Grund- Yes, Torres- Yes and Peters-Yes. 421

VIII. Meeting Adjourned422

Mr. Coughlan motioned to adjourn the meeting at 9:05 PM. Ms. Peters seconded the 423 motion. The vote was unanimous, motion passed. 424

Community Council - Proposal FormAll proposals should be submitted electronically to the Community Council Moderator and Clerk:

Souhegan High School aspires to be a community of learners born of respect, trust and courage.We consciously commit ourselves:

● To support and engage an individual's unique gifts, passions, and intentions.● To develop and empower the mind, body, and heart.● To challenge and expand the comfortable limits of thought, tolerance, and performance.● To inspire and honor the active stewardship of family, nation, and globe.

The Souhegan Six● Respect and encourage the right to teach and the right to learn at all times.● Be actively engaged in the learning; ask questions, collaborate, and seek solutions.● Be on time to fulfill your daily commitments.● Be appropriate; demonstrate behavior that is considerate of the community, the campus, and yourself.● Be truthful; communicate honestly.● Be responsible and accountable for your choices.

Proposal Title: Protection Proposal

Submitted by: Rolf Vanbibber

Co-sponsor(s): PJ Cloutier Kennedy, Max Hogan,

Proposal (Please try to be as concise as possible here): Repeal Souhegan policies GBGABand JLCDA (Distribution of Condoms and Other Birth Control Devices).

Objective: To no longer prohibit faculty from distributing birth control devices

Discussion Points (Pros and Cons):Pros - Condoms help reduce the spread of STDs

Condoms help prevent teenage pregnancyCondoms make students more sexually responsible

Cons - Could be interpreted as immoral or could interfere with families religious/politicalbeliefs

Research:According to a survey performed by the CDC in 2017, 40% of High School students said thatthey were sexually active, and 46% of that population reported not using a condom during theirlatest encounter.

NH state law does not restrict or require condom distribution in schools

A majority of students are in favor according to a poll conducted on the instagram story of theclaw, 130 votes for yes and 23 votes for no (85% in favor of the proposal)

61

Some comments from students about the proposal include:- Condoms being given at school would help greatly as they can’t afford condoms- “I'd rather these products be readily available to kids than they practice unsafe methods”- “There’s no downside, its not like students aren’t having sex because they are, BE

SAFE”- “It’s not the schools place to do that”- “I would support it as long as there are strict and clear guidelines; sexual health is very

important but the boundaries between faculty and students are as well”- “Faculty such as guidance counselors and nurses have to be ready to help students with

this”- “It’s important to allow students to have the resource to do it safely”

Implementation Plan (this should include a proposed timeline and parties involved in theimplementation):Should this proposal pass it would be sent to the School Board for legal approval, boarddiscussion depends on when that meeting would take place

1. We are in support of the proposal.2. Research to support: https://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/healthservices/caps/index.htm

a. CDC explains that research of Condom Availability Programs (CAP) does notincrease the sexual activity among teens but can increase the use of condoms insexualy active teens.

b. According to research, approximately 2/3 of youth will have initiated sexualintercourse by age 19.

c. According to the last Souhegan High School YRBS survey results -● 23% of students reported they were currently sexually active.● 29% reported they have had sexual intercourse.● 40% reported they did not use condoms when they last had sexual

intercourse● 60% reported they did not use birth control pills.

3. If this policy is repealed we are in support of the school nurse, counselors, and socialworker being able to provide contraceptives to students if students request.

4. If this proposal is repealed, we are in support of adjusting the language to not justprovide condoms, but to “provide barriers for safe sex practices”

5. “Any minor 14 years of age or older may voluntarily submit himself to medical diagnosisand treatment for a sexually transmitted disease and a licensed physician may diagnose,treat or prescribe for the treatment of a sexually transmitted disease in a minor 14 yearsof age or older, without the knowledge or consent of the parent or legal guardian of suchminor.” Title X - PUBLIC HEALTH, Chapter 141-C - COMMUNICABLE DISEASE,Section 141-C:18

III. Updates from the Dean of Students

Recommitment to the Souhegan Six: With the year underway, we have been taking advantage of time atSaber Spotlight to start the discussion around the Souhegan 6. Posters have been placed around thecampus and initial observations have shown many teachers and staff discussing these principles with theirstudents. As we move forward, we will capitalize on teachable moments to reinforce the Souhegan 6 andwork on weaving this into Advisory time.

Guided and Supportive Accountability: We are continuing to focus on reinforcing the Souhegan 6principle “be on time to fulfill your daily commitments.” As we expected coming back from a COVID year,some students are struggling to arrive at class on time for various reasons. As we continue to address this,we are placing large value in staff presence, having our SRO, Campus Coordinator, Dean of Students,Principal, Athletic Director, and various other staff members constantly being present and available forstudents.

Saber Spotlight: Saber Spotlight has been a great opportunity to bring the school together as acommunity. Recently, the ethics committee was able to utilize the spotlight to promote and explain Hopefor Gus week. Community Council, Theatre Department, and Class Leadership have used this opportunityto present information as well, with other clubs and students reaching out to have a slide in upcomingspotlights. Student and staff responses have been positive and encouraging.

Hope for Gus: The Ethics Committee have been selling Hope for Gus merchandise outside of Jon Barry’soffice since the start of the school year. At the football game on Friday (9/17), there will be tables andmerchandise for sale followed by a bonfire in the student parking lot. On Saturday (9/18), there will be ahomecoming dance outside next to the annex, with proceeds of all of these events going to Hope for Gus.

IV. Updates from the Dean of Faculty

Staff Steering Committee: The Staff Steering Committee is an elected representative group that works in

an advisory capacity with the administration to help our school be a place for equitable voice and to

facilitate our work to provide the highest quality educational experiences for all. At the first meeting in

August the group reviewed SAU 39 and Souhegan priorities to organize for collaborative work and elected

Travis Nason and Dana Curran as co-chairs. September’s meeting will focus on budgeting and the Honors

Challenge.

Teaching & Learning: During the Retreat in August we communicated our goal to make teaching and

learning the most prominent focus for teachers, students, and the community. Our efforts are bolstered by

partnerships with teachers that focus our collective energies around the examination of instructional

practices and a commitment to professional growth. We began our work in this area by setting a goal of

two classroom visits with each teacher during the month of September. The purpose of these visits is to

cultivate our partnerships and establish norms. We are well on our way to achieving that goal and as of

9/17 we have visited more than 100 classrooms. We have been impressed with the level of care for our

students that we have observed during our walkthroughs.

Communities of Practice: Adult learning will be supported this year through Communities of Practice,

which will meet during Tuesday late start days once a month with additional time during certain

administrative meetings. This new practice is the result of a proposal passed by the Faculty Senate in 2020

to shift away from Transformative Learning Communities. Etienne and Beverly Wenger-Trayner define


Phone: (603) 673-9940Fax: (603) 673-0318


65

Communities of Practice as “groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and

learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.” This year groups of 8-11 staff members will explore

teacher-developed topics related to improving the educational experience for all Souhegan students:

Social Emotional Learning, Pathways and Student Agency, Formative Instructional Practices, and Culturally

Responsive Classrooms.

V. Updates from Student Services

Advisory: Students are off to a good start in advisory. Each month advisors are given a document thatoutlines “common experiences” for advisory, including nuanced grade level information and suggestedactivities. September has focused on understanding the SHS Mission statement, recommitting to theSouhegan Six, coming together as an advisory and establishing group norms. Moving forward we will beintegrating Social Emotional Learning (SEL) competencies, in theory and practice, as well how SEL dovetailswith the SAU39 Portrait of a Graduate.

Student Services Team: Much like most young people around the country, our students are needingsignificantly higher social emotional support as we enter this school year. Although we have a number ofnew faces in Student Services, the team is running like a well oiled machine. We are also taking proactivemeasures to promote student wellness. We have our school Social Worker present at Saber Spotlight on aweekly basis about important SEL/mental health topics to help encourage conversation, and destigmatizehelp seeking. The focus this month has been on getting reacquainted with a full school schedule, engagingin better sleep hygiene and how/where to access resources. September is also Suicide Prevention Month.We will be discussing this topic in the upcoming weeks, with an emphasis on hope, resilience and again,access to resources.

VI. Updates from Counseling Department

We have had a great start to the year!

● Schedule changes are currently taking place - Add/Drop deadline is Sept. 15● 75+ colleges have currently scheduled their fall visits at SHS (both in person and remote).● Senior college application season has begun!

Grading System

Learning at Souhegan is accompanied by high standards. It is Souhegan’s mission to be a community thatis actively engaged in its learning.

● All grades are rolling until the end of the course. This means that students continue todemonstrate evidence of their learning and earn scores throughout the course. Marking periodsprovide a snapshot of where a student stands at the time. Overall course scores are calculated byaveraging each of the course competency scores at the end of the course. The exception to thisis in a student’s senior year; semester scores will be calculated for all courses in order to updatetranscripts. Letter grades are reported at the end of the school year and are translated asfollows:

Course Score Letter Grade

3.75 - 4.00 A+

3.26 - 3.74 A

3.00 - 3.25 A-

2.84 - 2.99 B+

2.67 - 2.83 B

2.50 - 2.66 B-

2.34 - 2.49 C+

2.17 - 2.33 C

1593


2.00 - 2.16 C-

< 1.99 NC

● No credit is awarded for grades less than C-. A grade of less than C- for a marking term willreceive either No Credit (NC) or Incomplete (I), based on specific individual circumstances. Toremove an Incomplete, students must complete the missing work within two weeks of the closeof the reporting period. If the Incomplete is not resolved, the grade becomes No Credit. If astudent receives a No Credit in a class for the year they must engage in competency recovery.

● In addition to reporting on academic competencies (reflected in the course score), students alsoreceive feedback and scores on Work Study Practices which are reported separately on reportcards and transcripts (starting with the Class of 2023).

● The Community of Souhegan recognizes students who have demonstrated academic excellenceat the end of each year. There are three Honor Roll levels:

Honors - All grades of 'B' or higher (no B-'s)High Honors - All but one of the grades 'A-' or above and no grade lower than a 'B'Highest Honors - All grades 'A-' or above

Grade point average (GPA)● Grade Point Average (G.P.A.) is computed by averaging grades all final grades from Souhegan

High School and grades from previous schools. For the Class of 2022, grades are not weightedwhen calculating G.P.A. Beginning with the class of 2023, college level classes will be weightedwith an additional point. Both an unweighted and a weighted GPA will be reported on thetranscript. College level courses which include Advanced Placement and Dual enrollmentcourses will be weighted. Souhegan High School does not publish a rank list.

Transfer Student Credits● Transfer students are expected to present transcripts of previous high school grades at time of

entry. Grades from previous schools will be combined with future grades from Souhegan asfollows: (1) The name of the previous school and years attended will appear on the Souhegantranscript. (2) Whenever possible, previous course names and grades will be maintained. (3)Weighted grades will be 'un-weighted' in order to ensure consistent calculation of all students'grade point averages. (4) Un-weighted grades from all high school courses will be used todetermine GPA (5) In cases where numerical equivalents of prior letter grades are different fromthose at Souhegan, prior letter grades will be maintained. (6) Prior grades of D+, D, D- and F willbe translated into GPA according to designated numerical equivalents.

valedictorian selection policy● The Community Council has established that the enrolled senior student who earns the highest

GPA will be rewarded with the title of valedictorian. The student must be certified to be legallyenrolled at Souhegan. He/she must successfully complete the graduation requirements of boththe State of New Hampshire and Souhegan High School. In order to be eligible for valedictorianor salutatorian, a student must be a full-time student at Souhegan High School for both juniorand senior years. Valedictorian and Salutatorian are identified following review of 1st semestergrade report and recalculation of GPA. Valedictorian and Salutatorian are announced in May.

1694


Senior Project Days● You must complete a Senior Project Day form which can be obtained from a Senior Project

Coordinator. This form must be completed and returned to the Attendance Secretary in theAttendance Office prior to taking the Senior Project Day.

Bringing visitors to Souhegan● Please refer to the Visitors Policy on Page 33. Visitors are welcome at Souhegan, but they must

adhere to the same level of responsibility that we expect from the students who come hereevery day. As a courtesy to your teachers, you should introduce your visitor.

Policies and Future of Souhegan● The future of Souhegan depends on student involvement. Advisory is an especially good time to

bring up ideas and concerns. The Community Council is an excellent place to take an active rolein implementing your ideas or addressing your concerns. You do not need to be a voting memberto attend a Council meeting or to raise an issue.

Withdrawing from School● Students withdrawing from Souhegan must submit a Withdrawal Form whether it be for

relocation purposes or to pursue other interests (employment, or High School Equivalence Test(HiSET). If you are withdrawing for reasons other than relocation, you must be 18 years old. Thestudent must contact the registrar to obtain a Withdrawal Form. The form is then taken to allpresent teachers and the Information Center to show that all books and materials have beenreturned. Teachers will also post current grades in the "Marks to Date" column. The form mustbe signed by a parent (regardless of the student's age), the principal, the school nurse, and thecase manager, if applicable. No school records will be forwarded to any school or educationalinstitution until this form is returned to the Registrar in Student Services with all the requiredsignatures.

The College Process● Your school counselor, advisor and others in Student Services will support you through the

college application process. There are a number of scheduled activities, workshops, meetings,and informational evenings for parents and students to facilitate this process. Your counselorwill work closely with you to assist you in meeting your goals.

Post-secondary and Career planning● Students participate in several career exploration activities in 9th and 10th grades which assist

them in creating a post-grad plan during junior and senior years. Students are also encouraged toutilize resources available to them and meet with their counselor on a regular basis.

College Visits and College Fairs● Souhegan High School recognizes that making a choice about which college a student wishes to

attend is enhanced by college visits. Therefore, we strongly encourage juniors and seniors to visitcolleges with their parents. While we hope that such visits can take place outside of school/classtime (during vacations, weekends, etc.), we recognize that there are times when missing schoolfor a college visit is unavoidable. If you have to arrange for a college visit during the school day,please call or provide a note to the Attendance Secretary in Attendance the day before the visit,and this will be an excused absence. Without proper notification, the absence will be unexcusedand consequences will follow as outlined in our attendance policy on Page 27. The student

1795


should let his/her teachers and coaches know about the planned absence so that there will beno disruption to class and practice plans. There are also over 100 colleges that visit SHS in earlyfall to meet with juniors and seniors. Students are highly encouraged to attend these visitswhich are listed in Naviance each year.

Working Papers● Working papers are often required by employers for students who are seeking employment that

are under the age of sixteen. See the Attendance Secretary in the Welcome Center and she willgive you all the details and the paperwork. During the summer you may pick up working papersat the SAU offices (Brick School). During the summer, papers can be obtained at the main office.

Community Service Program● This requirement was developed based on our philosophy of learning through service. The

opportunity to serve develops an awareness of the need for helping others, builds self-esteem,and stimulates knowledge of people with broader needs and experiences. - Off-campus service isany work or time given to any non-profit, civic, or religious organization. This may include servicein the areas of commitment to children and young people, schools, local community activitiesand recreation programs, environmental agencies, health care and elderly services. - On-campusservice is also available. Students can determine the validity of a community experience byseeing the Dean of Students, registrar or their counselor.

Community Service Hours● Service Log Sheets are available in Student Services or on the school website. Recorded hours

should be signed off by the person supervising the activity. The log sheet can be turned in to theregistrar at any time, but at least by the end of every year. Logging of community service hoursmay begin following graduation from Grade 8.

Helping Friends with a chemical dependency like alcohol, tobacco or marijuana?● All of the Souhegan counselors provide confidential and professional assistance and support to

students regarding chemical dependency and other problems that are adversely affecting theirlives, academic performance or school behavior. Souhegan regards alcohol and other drug abuseproblems as any other illness. Consequently, no punitive action will be taken against any studentwho refers herself/himself to a counselor and is making satisfactory progress in following theplanned recommendations. However, work with the counselor does not alter school disciplinarymeasures or policies for students caught in violation of our Drug/Alcohol Rules. It is an alternatesource of assistance to help insure successful academic performance and student well-being. Ifyou would like to inquire about getting help with substance use, and we encourage it, come toStudent Services. We can help you and/or your friends.

Mental health resources● Students can sometimes experience symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression and other mental

health concerns. Students who might be having symptoms and their parents should seek outtheir counselor, school nurse, social worker, and or school psychologist who can offer supportand refer them to appropriate resources if needed.

Smoking● No student or adult may smoke on campus per NH state law. This includes vaping or any other

form of tobacco use. Please see policy ADC for further information.

Discipline Policy● “Souhegan High School aspires to be a com-munity of learners, born of respect, trust, and

courage.” We believe that by extending meaningful, appropriate privileges to you as students,you will feel a substantial ownership in the fairness of our system and will respond respectfullyand responsibly to our governing rules. Where privilege is granted, responsibility is expected. Ifthe extension of privilege and trust is abused by poor student decision making, then logicaldisciplinary consequences must be initiated. It is up to us as a learning community to prove weare worthy of the trust and respect that is being granted to us. Thoughtful, not mindless, rulesare needed to help us achieve our goal of becoming a community of learners.

Student Governance

Community CouncilEstablished in 1992, the Community Council is the governing body of Souhegan. Everyone is invited tohelp shape the future of Souhegan by participating on the Community Council. You do not need to be avoting member to attend a meeting, bring a proposal, or participate in the discussion on an issue. Youare also always encouraged to talk with your class representatives. They are on the Community Councilfor you and will be more than happy to raise an issue of concern to you. The Community Council willmeet weekly. One of those meetings each month will be in the evening. All others will be held afterschool.

Community Review BoardSouhegan is a community built on trust- a trust that community members will be responsible.Unfortunately, sometimes that trust will be broken and disciplinary action will need to take place. Eachsituation that requires disciplinary action is unique. No one likes a bunch of rules; therefore, manydecisions concerning consequences are left up to the administration. In order to ensure that thosedecisions are fair, a Community Review Board will be able to review any disciplinary actions taken withthe exception of violations which involve legal action and the police.

The Community Review Board will hear grievances brought to it by students and staff members todetermine the fairness of any disciplinary action assigned to the student. The Community Review Boardis another way to give students a voice in administrative decisions and ensure the integrity of thosedecisions. Because it is made up of a cross section of community members, the point of view of theparties involved may be better understood.

The Community Review Board will consist of eleven members including: One elected student from eachgrade, one student randomly drawn for each case by a voluntary lottery from each grade; Two electedfaculty; One elected Community Council member. All members (students, teachers, and CommunityCouncil - except randomly selected members) will serve for terms of one year. A minimum of fivemembers, including one faculty member, must be present at each meeting of the Community ReviewBoard.

The Community Review Board cannot challenge existing policies or hear any case in which outsideagencies (i.e., police) are involved.

The Community Review Board can take the following actions: 1) Decide on whether or not to hear acase; 2) Uphold the decision of the administration; 3) Set a new consequence that better fits thesituation; 4) Nullify the consequence set by the administration.

Procedure for Submitting Consequence to Community Review Board

23101


● By 3:00 pm on the school day following the day the consequence was given, the plaintiff mustsubmit a request for a hearing on the proper "Hearing Request Form", which is available in theStudent Services Office. The Administration must submit a "Justification of Consequence Form,"which is to be filled out by a member of the administration who was involved in apprehending orissuing a consequence to the plaintiff. Both forms must be filled out completely. If the requestedinformation is confidential, all copies of the forms will be returned to Student Services after thehearing.

● All hearings must have at least five members present. The elected Community Councilrepresentative will serve as the chairperson and will be responsible for notifying other membersand the public (unless the plaintiff requests otherwise) of the hearing, finding a location for thehearing, and acting as a moderator at the hearing. A hearing will be arranged for the nextavailable day when enough members can stay after school. Hearings must be held after schoolso that the members aren't rushed or forced to miss classes.

● The Community Review Board will consider all cases that are presented to the board. However,this will not necessarily guarantee a hearing. At the start of each hearing, the Community ReviewBoard will take five minutes to read through all of the forms and decide on whether or not toproceed with hearing the case. If the Community Review Board decides to hear the case, thenthe hearing will proceed. If the Community Review Board decides not to hear the case, the casewill be dismissed.

Procedure for Community Review Board Hearings● The plaintiff and the representative from the administration who filed the "Justification of

Consequence" form must be present at the hearing. Either side is allowed to bring additionalrepresentatives.

● Each side will be allotted five minutes to present their case. After each side's presentation, themembers will have a chance to ask questions. After the questions have been answered, eitherside may be allotted a two-minute rebuttal if they wish to clarify or contradict something thatwas mentioned earlier. The rebuttals are the only forum to challenge the other side.Interruptions and arguments will not be allowed at Community Review Board Hearings.

● After both sides have presented their case, the members will deliberate privately. Members witha conflict of interest in any case should excuse themselves from deliberation. If a decision hasn'tbeen reached within a reasonable time, the members may schedule another time to continuedeliberation, but if a decision isn't reached by 2:30 on the school day following the hearing theadministration's decision stands. A unanimous decision is preferred, but a majority may decideon a consequence when a consensus cannot be reached. At the end of the hearing, thechairperson will return all documents to the Dean of Students or his/her designee, and themember of the administration will be responsible for reading the Community Review Board'sdecision to the plaintiff the next available day.

Procedure for Appeal of a Community Review Board Decision● If either side is unhappy with a Community Review Board decision, they may file an "Appeal

Request Form" with Student Services by 3:00 pm on the school day following the originaldecision. The Community Review Board would then go through the same steps that they wouldif they were hearing the case for the first time. At least three members who were present at theoriginal hearing must be present to decide whether to hear the appeal and also at the appealhearing. The plaintiff and the same administration representative who was present at theoriginal hearing must be present. The focus of an appeal hearing is to address evidence that was

24102


left out at the original hearing or to show that the original hearing was carried out improperly orunfairly. It is not necessary to reintroduce all of the original evidence.

Procedure for Filing Community Review Board Forms● After a hearing, copies of all forms involved will be given to the plaintiff, administration,

plaintiff's file, and Community Review Board file. The Community Review Board file will includeforms from all cases to be used as precedent in future cases. It will be kept by the Dean ofStudents.

Emergency Appeals● If the Dean of Students, or acting representative, decides that a decision must be made on an

appeal before the CRB is able to meet, there is an emergency appeals process available. For acopy of this policy, see the Dean of Students. In situations where the Community Review Board isnot in session (vacation, etc.), all appeals will be heard by the Principal.

Judiciary Board (Passed by Community Council 5/27/08)As a community of learners born of respect, trust, and courage, the Judiciary Board provides a means forstudents to directly impact the culture of Souhegan High School. The Judiciary Board is an assemblage ofstudents and faculty who offer fair, personalized, and creative approaches to conflict resolution and/orconsequences to students who violate our community norms. This work is conducted in the spirit ofrestorative justice where individuals are expected to right any harm they have brought to an individual orthe community. The idea behind restorative justice is that people do less harm in a community if theyfeel connected to that community. This sense of connectedness is critical to the achievement of ourmission

Purpose● The charge of the Judiciary Board is: To provide students the opportunity for a fair hearing

regarding a breach of the Souhegan Six, our community behavioral norms.● Use of the Judiciary Board process is encouraged, but optional for a student. It is the prerogative

of the student to accept this opportunity if the opportunity is given, or keep his/her case in theDean's office. The student and his/her parent or guardian will be notified if the case is to beheard by the Judiciary Board. Together, a parent/guardian and student may discuss the optionand choose to submit the matter directly for an administrative decision. The Administration alsoretains the right to refer a matter directly for an administrative decision.

Hearing Guidelines● Cases should relate to the school's guidelines as outlined in the student handbook "Rules of the

Road" and/or areas identified by the chart contained in the complete Judiciary Board proposal.● Cases should be those that entail student and student, student and school property, student and

staff, student and community issues.

Policies

Drug and Alcohol PolicyThe Souhegan High School Community supports a policy of total abstinence from alcohol and illegaldrugs, and abides by a policy which prohibits abuse of all legal drugs including over-the-countermedicines, prescription drugs and inhalants.

The Souhegan High School Community believes that substance abuse is primarily a medical issue.Therefore, the main focus of policies and procedures is to provide medical assistance and support forthose who are identified as potentially or actually in need of services. Disciplinary and legal matters needto be addressed within this context.

The Souhegan High School Community believes that policies and procedures should apply to all schoolsanctioned activities — academic and co-curricular — in a similar manner.

The Souhegan School Board recognizes the use of alcohol and illegal drugs, or dependency thereon, as aserious health, safety, legal, and security problem. Therefore, students are strictly prohibited frommanufacturing, transporting, distributing (or representing they are selling), dispensing (or representingthat they are dispensing), possessing, using, or being under the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol onthe school site. "School site" means any school buildings and land, the drug-free zone defined by RSA318-B:27 and any school-owned vehicle or any other vehicle used to transport students to and fromschool activities or school property during any school-sanctioned activities, events, or functions such asfield trips or athletic events, where students are under the jurisdiction of the school district. School sitealso includes off-school property during any school-sanctioned activities, events, or functions such asfield trips or athletic events, where students are under the jurisdiction of the school district.

Any student who brings prescription or over the counter drugs onto the school site for ingestion, asprescribed by his or her doctor, will notify the school nurse and, unless approved by the school nurse,the medication will be kept in the nurse’s office.

Guidance Counselors will maintain a list of area resources for substance abuse counseling andrehabilitation.

What happens if I'm involved with alcohol or other drugs?Students suspected of violating any or all of the prohibitions stated in the School Board Policy on StudentAlcohol and Other Drugs (JICH) will be referred immediately to the Dean of Students. All students whoviolate the alcohol and drug policy will lose off-campus privileges for 60 school days.

● In the event a student appears to be under the influence of alcohol or some other drug on theschool site, the student can expect the following:

26104


○ The parent will be immediately notified by the school authorities and asked to come tothe school.

○ The school nurse will conduct an “Impairment Assessment”. The student’s schoolcounselor and/or advisor will be notified. If the Impairment Assessment indicatesprobable substance use, Section II will go into effect. (If a student challenges the findingof the Souhegan school nurse, the student has the option of taking a blood or urinescreen at a medical facility or lab within 24 hours. This appeal test must be a "chain ofevidence test" for "drugs of abuse," and the test results must be sent to the Dean ofStudents. If the results are negative, there will be no further consequences. If the resultsare positive, then the student will be held accountable according to the existing Drugand Alcohol Policy found on pages 22. Further information or questions regarding thisprocess may be directed to the Dean of Students.

○ In severe cases, when the parents or the school doctor cannot or do not come to theschool within the necessary response time, the nurse is authorized to call an ambulanceto take the student to the hospital. Parents will be notified of this action and will beresponsible for any incurred expenses.

● A student found in possession and/or use of alcohol or other illegal drugs on the school site canexpect the following:

○ The parent and the police will be immediately notified by school authorities.○ First Offense: External suspension for 10 school days with up to 100% credit for work

missed. This may be reduced to three-days external suspension if the student agrees toseek out help in the form of an assessment by a Licensed Alcohol and Drug AbuseCounselor (LADC). The student and parents must also agree to sign a release ofinformation form for the school. A written report, including the LADC'srecommendations, must be sent to the Dean of Students and the student's guidancecounselor. Recommendations should be included in the report and must be compliedwith for a calendar year. If any part(s) of this agreement are not complied with orcompleted, the full 10-day suspension will occur. [Note: If convicted in court forpossession or use of illegal substances, the student will lose his/her driver's license fornot less than 90 days but not more than one year (NH law 263.56-b).]

○ Second Offense: External suspension for 10 school days with a recommendation to thesuperintendent for an additional 10-days suspension with up to 100% credit for workmissed. The suspension may be reduced to five days with no recommendation for anadditional 10 days if the student completes a substance abuse assessment under thedirection of a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor (LADC). The student andparents must also agree to sign a release of information form for the school. A writtenreport, including the LADC's recommendations, must be sent to the Dean of Studentsand the student's guidance counselor. Recommendations should be included in thereport and must be complied with as stated. If any parts of this agreement are notcomplied with or completed, the original suspension will occur.

SOUHEGAN HIGH SCHOOL POLICY RELATED TO DRUGS/ ALCOHOL/TOBACCO USE FOR CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

27105


The use of tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs or other controlled substances is strictlyforbidden at all times including out-of-school activities.

Souhegan High School recognizes that the use(defined as ingestion, possession, transportation, dispensing, distributing, or being under the influence)of tobacco, alcohol, and illegal drugs, or dependency thereon, has serious health, safety, legal andsecurity issues. Further, participation in co-curricular activities requires that students refrain from theuse (defined as ingestion, possession, transportation, dispensing, distributing, or being under theinfluence) of tobacco, alcohol, and illegal drugs.

If a student is found to be using (defined as above) substances, the student will be subject to thefollowing consequences:

First Offense in High School● The student will be suspended from participation for 21 calendar days. If the number of days is

greater than the remainder of the season, the days will be added on to the next season oractivity in which the student participates.

educational programs● To comply with all New Hampshire laws● To retain a smoke-free building and campus at all times

Student users of tobacco of any age who are found to possess or use any tobacco products on Souheganproperty or at any SHS sponsored event or field trip, at any time, can expect the following consequences:

29107


Staff members, parents, and visitors who violate the policy will be referred to the police for court actionand possible fine, up to $100.00.

A summary of this policyfollows and covers New Hampshire laws RSA 193-B (DrugFree School Zone), RSA 193-D (Safe SchoolZone), and RSA 193:13 Consistent with existing school law and policy JIH, school officials may search astudent including a vehicle, locker, backpack and other belongings upon "reasonable suspicion" that aschool rule, state law, or federal law has been broken. School lockers and school desks are the propertyof the school, not the student, and thus their use holds no reasonable expectation of privacy.

VIDEO AND AUDIO SURVEILLANCEVideo and audio surveillance at SHS are used to ensure the health, welfare, and safety of all students,staff and visitors and to safeguard District buildings, grounds, and equipment. Please see policy EEAA forfurther information.

STUDENT MISCONDUCT LEADING TO SUSPENSION OR EXPULSIONStudent violation of this policy will result in school disciplinary action and notification of the AmherstPolice Department. A student may be suspended or expelled from school for acts of theft, destruction orviolence occurring on school property, at school-sponsored events, at bus stops and on bus routes; also,a student may be suspended or expelled for gross misconduct or neglect or refusal by the student toconform to the rules of the school.

Suspension can also result from the illegal sale or possession of a controlled drug or alcoholand the unlawful possession or sale of a firearm or other dangerous weapon (explosives, clubs, andunlawful possession or sale of a firearm or other dangerous weapon (explosives, clubs, artificialknuckles, switch blades or knife blades). A weapon, or replica of a weapon, is considered any objectwhich, in the manner it is used, or threatened to be used, is known to be capable of frightening,threatening, intimidating, or injuring another person. Suspension can occur for any act by a student thatis deemed to be dangerous to the student, others, or the school community.

Thisexpulsion may be modified by the superintendent upon review of the specific case in accordance withother applicable law, and district policy. Authorized law enforcement officials are not included in thispolicy in the performance of their duties.

NOTIFICATION OF AMHERST POLICE DEPARTMENTThe Board has a memorandum of understanding with the Amherst Police Department which requires thehigh school to notify the police whenever a serious offense has been committed. Students and parentsshould expect the police to be included in investigating such incidents.

Due Process and ProceduresThe Board has adopted levels of due process to use in disciplinary proceedings. These levels arecommensurate with the seriousness of the misconduct:

30108


Level 1 Suspension Hearing (10 school days or less):● The principal or the dean of students is authorized to suspend a student from school for up to 10

school days. The student is entitled to oral or written notice of the charges, an opportunity topresent his/her side of the story and a written statement explaining any disciplinary actiontaken. An appeal of the suspension may be made to the principal in writing within 24 hours andthen to the superintendent.

An appeal of thisdecision may be made to the superintendent.)

Level 2 Suspension Hearing (11-20 Days):● The superintendent is authorized to suspend a student beyond 10 school days. The student is

entitled to a due process hearing (see below). The principal and the superintendent shallparticipate in any hearing when it appears that the length of suspension will be between 11-20days.

Thesuspension will be enforced during the time that the appeal is pending.

Level 3 Hearing (Suspensions 21 or more school days or Expulsion):● The school board is authorized to suspend a student beyond 20 school days or to expel that

student from school. Due process requirements for a Level 2 hearing and a Level 3 hearing,which are the same, are as follows: The student is entitled to know what he or she is chargedwith and the evidence supporting the charge. The student has the right to be represented bylegal counsel at the non-public hearing, the right to present any evidence and to cross-examinewitnesses. Formal rules of evidence do not apply; however, the school shall present evidencethrough exhibits and testimony in support of the charge. Certain evidence may be taken inprivate to respect the privacy rights of other students. A taped record will be made of thehearing and a written decision will be issued as soon as possible after the hearing.

HEARING WAIVERS AND APPEALSThe school board and parents may agree to waive, modify or extend certain procedural requirements ofthis policy, including the need for a hearing. Such agreements should be in writing whenever possible.Appeals from decisions of the principal shall be to the superintendent. Appeals from decisions of thesuperintendent shall be to the board. Appeals from decisions of the board will be to the State Board ofEducation or other body as designated in state law. In any appeal, the reviewing officials may rely on therecord and any documentary evidence submitted at the hearing.

PROCEEDINGS FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIESIn the event a student with a disability has been suspended for 10 days, certain additional procedureswill apply. These procedures require a meeting of the student's team to consider whether the behavioris a manifestation of the disability. The NH Rules for the Education of Students with Disabilities bookcontains information about manifestation determination and procedures which can be found on theSAU 39 website under Student Services or copies can be provided from the school.

ACADEMIC HONESTY/CHEATING/PLAGIARISMThe fifth item listed on the Souhegan Six states: 'Be truthful; communicate honestly.' This appliesthroughout the school and has particular bearing on your academic work. Souhegan High Schoolconsistently encourages academic achievement but this is never justification for using the ideas, words,or thoughts of another person without acknowledgement of the other person's work.

31109


Academic integrity is violated when a student attaches his/her name to a paper or product and attemptsto pass it off as his/her own work without proper citation.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITYAcademic dishonesty, plagiarism, and cheating may include, but are not limited to:

● Copying homework or projects from other students● Copying from or looking at another student's paper during a test or quiz● Allowing someone else to cheat off of your work● Asking or telling other students about an assessment's content● Passing answers to other students● Improperly using electronic translators (language classes)● Cutting and pasting from an electronic source without proper citation● Paraphrasing without proper citation● Not citing any direct quotations or unique ideas● Downloading papers or sections of papers without proper citation● Having someone else write your paper (friend, parent, native speaker, etc.)● Absenting yourself consistently the day of a test, quiz, or final exhibition in order to gain an

advantage on the assessment● Sharing answers with other students and/or electronically (calculator, cell phone, photo, etc.)● Using any kind of "cheat sheet" during a test or quiz● Manipulating data on a science lab write-up to make it appear legitimate

Academic dishonesty, plagiarism and cheating are unacceptable at Souhegan and consequences forthese behaviors will be assigned accordingly. Examples of potential consequences include but are notlimited to: a zero for the assignment, restricted day, in-school suspension, loss of off campus privileges,and completion of a learning module regarding academic dishonesty.

Attendance PolicySouhegan believes in the concept of "student as worker" in the educational process. Therefore,attendance at school is a necessity for success. Conversely, sporadic attendance compromises theachievement of the individual. For this reason all students are expected to arrive at school on time,before 8:25 am for an 8:30 am first period starting time and attend all classes and activities. Theparent/guardian and the student may be required to meet with the Dean of Students or CampusCoordinator to discuss reasons for perpetual absenteeism and steps to maintain good standing in theclass.

Unexcused AbsencesUnexcused absences (truancy) are absences that are not sanctioned by the school. The school sanctionsclass absences and/or early dismissals for the following reasons: personal illness (if in school, studentmust be dismissed by the school nurse), medical appointments that must fall within the school day,family emergencies, pre-approved college visits (coordinated through Student Services), schoolsanctioned field trips or activities; and in the rare event of a very late arrival from participation in aschool-sponsored game/event, parents/guardians may use their discretion regarding a student'stardiness the next day. Students who have not received approval by the school for an absence orlateness will have cut school. Anyone who is more than fifteen minutes late to class will be consideredtardy from that class. Students who skip class or are habitually late should expect to receive logicalconsequences from their teachers and administration for their choices. Please see policy JH for moreinformation.

32110


When a student is identified as truant or on the path to becoming truant, Souhegan administration, inconjunction with the student services office will:

● Investigates the cause(s) of the student’s truant behavior● Considers, when appropriate, modification of his/her educational program to meet particular

needs that may be causing the truancy● Involves the parents in the development of a plan designed to reduce the truancy● Seek alternative disciplinary measures, but still retains the right to impose discipline in

accordance with the District’s policies and administrative guidelines on student discipline

MEMORANDUM TO: Adam Steel, Superintendent of Schools FROM: Steven M. Chamberlin, Assistant Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Competency Remediation Strategies DATE: September 21, 2021 Executive Summary

The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information related to competency remediation strategies at Souhegan High School.

Background Information

The NH State Board of Education established passing course competencies as a graduation requirement as part of the minimum standards in the 2008-2009 school year. This regulatory innovation changed many aspects of public education, including how grades are calculated and remediation practices. For many schools, the move to competency-based education removed the dispositions from the grade (effort, attitude, work ethic), leaving the grade to represent the achievement of the desired skill, content, or understanding. Remediation for credit moved to focus on the passing of competencies.

Competencies Remediation Strategies at Souhegan High School

Three structures are in place to remediate competencies at Souhegan High School: Course Modules, the Virtual Learning Academy Charter School (VLACS) Competency Recovery Program, and the Souhegan High School Summer Program. The school counselor and course teacher facilitate access to the programs.

Modules (English, Social Studies, Math 1/.5 credits)

Course modules are offered during the school year. The courses are designed to focus on the areas in need of improvement. Students develop a portfolio as evidence of competency achievement.

Virtual Learning Academy Charter School (VLACS)

VLACS is an independent/flexible remediation program. Once the teacher and counselor select the most appropriately aligned competency offered through VLACS, the student works with the VLACS' instructor to complete the work and achieve the competency.

Souhegan High School Summer Program

This six-week, four days/week, four hours/day program is highly structured and supported. Students sign a contract committing to the work. Absences are followed with phone calls home. Progress reports are distributed. The students pay a $100 fee to attend the program.

The program is staffed by three teachers (math, science, humanities). This year the program was supported by a paraprofessional. The teachers' design lessons aligned with the competencies that need remediation. The students do not have to attend the entire six weeks – just long enough to achieve the competencies.
