Barnstead NH News

ChildFind Barnstead School District


In an effort to comply with State and Federal Laws governing special education, to maintain eligibility for Federal Funding, to engage in sound long range planning and to provide evaluation and programming where appropriate, the Barnstead School District is making a conscientious effort to identify potentially disabled individuals residing within its jurisdiction.


Parents of children up to 21 years of age who suspect that a child may be educationally disabled, are invited to contact their local school special education director.  Assessments will be performed to determine if children qualify for special education programs and services.  Areas to be screened will include hearing, vision, communication, cognition, and motor functioning.


For further information, parents would contact their local school and ask to speak to the Special Education Director: Anna Williams, Barnstead Elementary School, 269-5161.

 


 

Barnstead Parks And Recreation Vision 2011
Submitted By Judy Chase, Chair


Please allow us to clarify the role of Barnstead Parks and Recreation as it currently exists and to seek community support for the development of a more structured program.


Barnstead Parks and Recreation is volunteer driven.  We do not have a Parks and Recreation Director or paid employees (with the exception of Beach Attendants). P&R  is funded through taxpayers dollars. Your soccer and basketball programs are self-supporting through user fees, and are not school-run programs, although the school facilities are used.  P&R coordinates these programs (volunteer recruitment, registration, practice/game scheduling, uniforms, equipment, etc.), which wouldn’t happen without our terrific volunteer coaches!


Parks and Recreation manages a budget of approximately $25,000.  This volunteer driven branch of the town is responsible for the Town Beach ($4000 to recruit, hire, schedule and oversee beach attendants), Summer Concert Series ($5000 to schedule, contract and publicize performances), Ice Rink/Big River Recreation Renovations ($5000), Maintenance of grounds and facilities ($6000) and Programs ($5000). 


While volunteer management of particular programs remains the ideal, we are suggesting that a Parks and Rec Coordinator, stipend-funded, be appointed by the Selectmen.  This position will oversee, develop and implement procedures and policies associated with recreational programs and facilities, work collaboratively with local groups to provide low-cost/no-cost recreation and other related community services for persons of all ages.   The stipend is to come from within the current budget. 


Further, we suggest that a Parks and Rec Commission be established, consisting of 5 citizens, who serve two year, and appointed by the selectmen.   Their specific duties will be guided by New Hampshire RSA 35-B. 


We hope that the people of Barnstead continue to value the services of Parks and Recreation and support the vision we are suggesting.   Thank you.
