School Board Will Discuss Math Initiative, Welcome Old Friend

Tonight's Amherst School Board meeting will begin at 6 p.m. at the Souhegan High School Info Center.

Amherst School Board members will discuss the SAU #39 Summer Mathematics Institute that is training teachers on how to better approach the topic of math for students. The program will be held all this week.

Nancy Head will also be welcomed back from her short-lived retirement from the board after another member left. She will remain on the board until a new member is selected in the March elections.

New Superintendent Peter Warburton will be presenting his report tonight, along with the principals’ report.

The board will go over unanticipated revenue that includes a $1,496.40 donation from Junior Women's Club for Amherst Middle School stage lighting and a $3,000 grant from United Way for the Reading Plus Program.

There will also be an update on the Clark Elementary School roofing.
