“Building Tomorrow Together”
School Administrative Unit #53

The School Districts Of Allenstown, Deerfield, Epsom, Chichester And Pembroke Status On The Search For A New Superintendent Of Schools


In keeping with our commitment to communicate with all the constituent groups of SAU #53, the Executive Board of SAU #53 offers this information about the status of the search for our new Superintendent of Schools.


The SAU #53 Executive Board comprising of representatives from the Allenstown, Deerfield, Epsom, Chichester and Pembroke School Districts along with selected SAU and school building staff shall serve on the Superintendent Search Committee (SSC) in the search for a new superintendent of schools. The SSC will recruit, screen, interview and conduct background checks on all viable candidates and will recommend the best qualified candidates to the SAU #53 School Boards for their review and selection. It is anticipated that the process will take the remainder of the school year with an announcement planned for June 2011. Our intention is to have the new Superintendent of Schools on the job this summer.


As you likely know our current Superintendent, Peter Warburton, recently accepted the Superintendent of Schools position for SAU # 39 serving the Amherst, Mont Vernon and Souhegan Regional School Districts.  Peter has contributed greatly to SAU #53 in his two years as Assistant Superintendent and during his 3 years as Superintendent of Schools. We thank him for his dedication to SAU #53 and for his hard work. Much has been accomplished and he will certainly be missed. We wish Peter continued success in his new position.


Advertisements were sent out to: university placement services, school boards’ associations throughout the country, the national superintendents’ association and all SAUs in N.H. It is also advertised in NH’s newspapers. We are seeking the following qualities in a new school leader:


Qualifications, Skills and Attributes Sought:
• Outstanding communication skills both orally and in writing
• The ability to build upon the existing initiatives
• Strong track record of accomplishments in past leadership positions
• Innovative; a reflective thinker; thinking “outside the box”
• Knowledge of budget development, adept in technology and its uses, experience in negotiations
• High integrity, a listener and a delegator
• Team oriented leadership style; strong management skills; ability to multi-task, a collaborator
• Outstanding human relations skills
• Visible in the schools and communities, approachable and open to new ideas
• Highly successful experience as a central office administrator preferred
• NH certification or a statement of eligibility for NH certification required


SAU #53 has contracted with the NH School Boards Association to serve as the consultant to the process. The due date for applications is April 29th. Once the applicants go through an initial telephone interview, their confidential dossiers will be shared with the members of the SSC for its review and selection of candidates for the first round of interviews. Those interviews are set for May and will be conducted in non-public session.


The process will become public once the finalists are selected. At that time, the SAU #53 School Boards will ask for community involvement to assist with the completion of the process. A “meet the candidates” program is planned. There will be more about this in a subsequent newsletter.


On behalf of the Search Committee and the SAU #53 School Boards, I thank you for recognizing that we are performing one of our most important duties as a school board and we ask for your support and patience as we go through this process.

 
Respectfully submitted,
Superintendent Search Committee (SSC)
School Administrative Unit #53

Mother Bear Man, Ben Kilham, To Speak In Epsom


Friends of the Suncook River is pleased to announce that Ben Kilham, author of Among the Bears Raising Orphan Cubs in the Wild, will join us for a talk on Wednesday, April 20th at 7 pm at the Epsom Library on Route 4. The nationally renowned black bear biologist is best known for the National Geographic program featuring him as Mother Bear Man.


He has worked with the NH Fish and Game Department for over two decades raising orphaned bear cubs for release back into the wild. Ben has extensively studied black bear behavior while nurturing the cubs to be later released into the wild. He has since tracked several of the now adult bears, further adding to his and our knowledge of bear behavior. Ben knows bears best.


Come learn about your other neighbors, the bears. Hey, they are watching you all the time.  There is no cost for this presentation. If you would like further information, contact Mary Fougere of Friends of the Suncook River at 269-4264.

You may bring donated clothing beginning at 8:30 am.  All clothes need to be clean and in good repair, and separated by size and gender.  Both adult and children’s clothing are accepted.


Clothes will be sorted and distributed to tables by the person dropping them off.


Once clothes have been sorted and distributed, you are free to begin gathering clothing in the sizes you need.


Any clothing left at the end of the swap will be delivered to a local charity drop off site. Volunteers for the clothing swap would be appreciated.


The swap will run from 9:00-12:00 noon.


You do not need to make a clothing donation in order to take clothing for you and your family.


Call Joanne Randall at 344-8843 for more information or if you are interested in volunteering.

 


 

Letter


To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield:
This week, the House passed seven bills at once, then considered SB85, naming a bay in Lake Winnipesaukee after the late Senator Johnson. Like most such bills, this was the occasion for commemorative speeches and notice of the family; it passed 347-1. SB102, establishing a commission to study the effects of traumatic brain injury and post traumatic stress disorder on veterans, also inspired grandstanding speeches and a 347-1 vote. SB140, using military justice fines to fund scholarships, passed without discussion. SB66, on non-resident fees for motorcycle classes, was amended to call for “tuition” rather than “fees” and passed. The House also accepted several petitions for redress of grievance, against various court systems and a school district. This is the reinstatement of a very old procedure, where citizens injured by actions of the government can petition the Legislature.


The budget has moved on to the Senate, in step 3 of the 5-step process. One consequence of having trying to avoid the problem we had last session when budget amendments (including the infamous campground tax) were incorporated into the budget at midnight, is that the House has to establish all its positions publicly. To some extent, we have to pass budget bills we don’t think the Senate will agree to, in order to have a negotiating position for the committee of conference. I understand the Senate is looking to increase funding for the most vulnerable mental health citizens, and trying to figure where else to cut – I hope they find some efficiencies or less vital areas to cut.


Anyone interested in what is going on in the State House is invited to email or call me. Anyone who wants more information than I can fit into a letter should email me for my newsletter.
