School board to discuss special meeting petition Monday night By GAil oBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILFORD — At its meeting Monday night, the School Board will discuss the petition signed by nearly 70 residents asking for a special meeting of the School District to discuss the position of superintendent. A representative of the SAU
said the regular meeting will be held in the library at the Gilford Elementary School in anticipation of larger-than-normal attendance. The petition came after district residents voted nearly 2-to-1 during March’s annual SB-2 vote to adhere to the terms of a plan approved by the
district voters in 1998, when Gilford residents chose to separate administratively from Laconia. The plan, approved by the state Department of Education, called for a different management structure than the traditional superintendentdriven one. However, the School Board,
at that time, chose to ignore the voter-approved plan and instituted the traditional public education model that is still in place today. The issue came to the fore during the 2011-12 budget cycle when current Superintendent Paul DeMinico announced see GILFOrd page 12
