Open Letter to the Corrupt Newmarket, NH School Board

Each day that passes without the Newmarket School Board removing Dr. Susan Givens for her unethical, immoral, and criminal acts, all of which you are all familiar with, the greater the shame you bring upon yourselves, the teaching staff, students, and the entire Newmarket Community.

The problem here is the fact that the Newmarket School Board, under the leadership of past chairmen of the boards, Mike Kenison, Kim Shelton, Nathan Lunney, and current chairman, Gary Swanson, are all equally as guilty as superintendents Givens and Nadeau.

Public officials and servants have a duty and responsibility to act in all matters with integrity and honesty and to report those who would violate their oaths of office by committing crimes and other reprehensible acts. Up until this point, Newmarket school district officials and servants have failed to live up to these ideals and responsibilities.

The Newmarket School Board, past and present, along with superintendent Givens and former superintendent Nadeau, conspired to perpetrate frauds upon New Hampshire Courts in order to cover up violations of RSA 91- (Right-to-Know Law). I include the current board because you are all very well aware of the allegations and you know the truth. Yet, you allow the lies and denials to continue.

Under the leadership of Mr. Swanson, the current board violated RSA 91-A when they discussed and took action in a “non-meeting” with attorney Loughman concerning current litigation. Each of you knew the litigation was improper and designed to obstruct justice. Shame on you.

By allowing the crimes and other bad acts to go unanswered, you are not only acting unethically, you are defiling the office you hold and obstructing justice.

As a member of the elected body, you have an obligation to seek the truth. I am calling on the Newmarket School Board, again, to conduct an internal investigation (through outside independent counsel) to investigate the many allegations I have filed against the school district and its officials.

Newmarket taxpayers' funds have been misappropriated in order to coverup crimes committed by school board members and school superintendents. Crimes against the state and me and my family have been committed by Newmarket officials. These unethical, immoral, and criminal acts must be investigated.
