The Board as it meets in the Superintendent's office. The members are John Fletcher, chairman; William Hennessey, clerk; and John Porter. Mr. Holland, Superintendent of Schools, is to the left of the group at his desk. THE SCHOOL BOARD The School Board in the town of Rockingham has three members, all graduates of Bellows Falls High School. These are John Fletcher, chairman; William Hennessey, clerk; and John Porter. These men are ordinary town citizens who have been elected to their posts on the school board by their fellow townsmen. The duties of a school board as outlined in a hand- book put out by the state board of education include interpreting the needs of the community, developing school policy, selecting and working with administrators and teachers of the schools in their school system, furnishing finances, and keeping the public informed on the purpose, value, conditions, and needs of public education in the community. In developing policy for the school, the school board basically interprets and extends the state laws concern- ing schools to apply to teachers, pupils, and others in the local school system. At all times, the board is re- sponsible for seeing that state laws are carried out in the local situation. These laws and regulations pertain to such matters as taxation, budgeting, purchasing, contracting debt, construction school buildings, trans- porting pupils, truancy, health of pupils, curriculum, length of school term, and manner of instruction. The board has recently revised the salary schedule, including in the new schedule a rather unique feature which gives recognition for long and loyal service by any teacher. A teacher who has taught in the Rocking- ham school system for twenty or more years and who has complied with the State Retirement regulations may, five years before retirement, obtain a $500 in- crease in salary, thereby enhancing their state retire- ment pay. The Rockingham School Board is also intending not only to develop a good school athletic field but also to establish a good family recreation area. 6
