001e e e welcome to the meeting of larder school board will be held on Monday March 10th 2025 at 7:30 p.m. at the lary high school room 221 295 Mammoth Road lary New Hampshire 03053 the meeting will be broadcast on District YouTube channel as well as cable access Channel could we rise for the Pledge of Allegiance please to the flag of the United States ofer the stands na thank you just have one item and discussion of policy bbfa um it's uh regarding board member qualifications and conflicts of interest the reason we brought this uh up is uh Kevin was uh board member Kevin was uh gray was approached by the Middle School um last last week to see if he would possibly have some spare time to coach the boys lacrosse team because they've expired
002almost all the time uh since last fall trying to get applicants for this position both l and m teams and um have had no luck as of today last time I checked today with Jimmy um so these policies need to be looked at by the attorney I had a conversation with the attorney on Friday um she uh said if the board was okay with her she'll make sure there's nothing out of uh the ordinary at the state level RSA wise but basically says you can't be an employee of the district while being a board member so what was brought up is could he be a volunteer coach on an emergency case basis until we put that into the policy so this is basically just a quick uh meeting to get a consensus of the board
003if it's okay for the attorney to put something together for the 25th um and see if some wording can be put in there it may be based on an emergency case and expires in 90 days something to that effect um where a lot of the board members do you know are heavily involved in sports we'd hate to see like I told her I'd hate to send 50 Middle School boys home and not be able to play lacrosse um it's just not fair and we have a board member that's uh willing to help out if possible so I'm just looking for a consensus to go ahead and have the attorney write something up in draft form for a policy uh minor change to I put these two on because they're they reflect what board member members
004have to follow in our policy um so she could do her due diligence and um see what has to be changed and that so that's about all I have for tonight but if the board's in consensus and okay with this if we can do it legally and make it so we can service some of our students in sports so the specifics of the timeline though um I'm absolutely my Bo um I'm just curious as far as the emergency basis like like we do with the person poliy find find it now I we need to make sure everything goes out for three bits but every once in a while even though we beg for it we don't get three bits um showing the due diligence there we're like okay we'll accept two bids and move on
005with this I think it's more of a timeline uh if we we get down to like the last 2 and a half weeks or whatever date we come to and we're in dire straights and this is the only recourse we have and yes now it's considered emergency so I'm just assuming that'll be in the language yeah and she'll send some um you know some correspondents along to us prior and uh then we can deliberate it'll be the first reading um on the 25th if everybody's okay with that and then we can proceed with some further changes through the second and third reading so if you guys are okay with that question sure did she ever consider just waving the policy for a 30-day period while we go through these two that was one of the
006top because the season starts on the 31st tryouts and that at the middle school so that that's a good point Dan I will make sure she did mention we may have to do something where we won't get three readings in until mid April well I I me more just literally for these situations you could wave the I see I'll ask that question no that's a good point option okay yeah it was they have their reasons why it's not to be done y That's attorneys is what she told me but I said I don't want 50 seventh Sixth sth and eighth grade is sit home if we have somebody that'll volunteer their time and and get them through a season until we can have more time to try to hire someone for next year we're just
007finding that in several Sports I believe the girls are still looking for a coach with the m team um and then they've had a tough time with the varsity team at the high school that they have no assistance and they were looking for freshman coach I believe and JB still so it's a really uh a tough time so I talking with Kevin and doing some research and a phone call I figured if we're we're available and we can do it on emergency case basis to fill in until the athletic department can hire someone it would be worth having something in there so are you guys all okay with that yep okay stay tuned I'll bring it back on the uh 25th at our regular school board meeting for deliberation first reading um that's all I
008have uh in uh public meeting and I will look for a motion to go into non-public session requested under RSA 91a colon 3 section 2C please motion by Sarah second second by Tim I'll ask for a roll call vote from my left to right please hi Tim Porter hi K hi Bob Slater hi Sarah thank you everyone have a good night
