What’s the pay?

Edit - The below comment is inaccurate in regards to NH. My apologies for being totally wrong.

Kindergarten entrance age is set by the state, not by districts.

There are 3 or 4 states who let local districts set the cut off dates, but NH is not one of them.

It's a state mandate, not by district.

Only 3 states have a cut off date that goes past Sept 30th and one of them is Oct 1st.*

This date was not randomly picked by some random person, it is research based and enforced for a reason.

*There are 3 or 4 states who let local districts choose the cut off dates, but it looks like these are all states that do not require Kindergarten. (New Hampshire also does not require Kindergarten.)

Thank you for your input! I’m willing to have my child assessed in all areas of developmental readiness for kindergarten - not just academics. I do understand that a large part of readiness has nothing to do with academics. I would be interested to learn the results of such an assessment, so I can better understand (from an objective point of view) my child’s development. I strongly feel that another year at his pre-school will bore him and not help him progress academically OR socially / emotionally. So I’m looking for a place that will better fit his needs - be it kindergarten (public or private) or another preschool aimed at 4-5 year olds. If you hav any suggestions, please let me know! And thank you for your service to our kiddos!

There is a reason the cut off date is Sept 30th. 3 days may not seem like a lot to a 30 or 40 year old, but it is to a 4 year and 5 year old.

Additionally, an academic assessment is not what will determine if a 4 year old is ready for full day Kindergarten. Kindergarten is 20% academics and 80% social/emotional.

Would you mind messaging me to share what district has the 10/31 cut-off date? I would SO appreciate it!

I live 15 minutes from ME so they can take their time, I'm still getting mine.

Some shits weird. Don’t have to wear a basic safety precaution like a motorcycle helmet or seatbelt. But don’t smoke that jibba jabba.

Can people use the search bar to find previous discussions on this topic? I am pro legislation but enough. Do your research and go to another state to buy weed, grow your own or use the black market. This conversation is just like beating a dead horse at this point. It's decriminalized so just be ok with that for now or waste your time and write our governor a letter.

unh poll indicates 71% of granite staters support legalizing marijuana for recreational use.

It's usually a Board policy. You can ask for an exception. They are highly unlikely to grant it.

I am willing and eager.

Polling data I was referring to: https://scholars.unh.edu/survey_center_polls/730/

Just put a free sign on it or buy nothing on Facebook. There’s always someone that will take it!

Mind explaining what’s going on here? I’ve been busy, haven’t followed.

They majority of NH citizens? Got any data to prove that?

Because the overwhelming majority of people who make the laws and really vote on things here are OLD and way out of touch. The majority of people who vote in state elections are older and they are the ones bending the ear of their local representatives who are always looking to appease the voters who keep them in office.

Does it have a plate on it? And if so, NH or out of state? If NH, contact the dmv (you can email) with the plate number and ask them if they can contact the owner or have the owner’s town clerk’s office contact them. Best case scenario, it was a case of mistaken property (temp parking in what they thought was a friend’s yard), and owner can come and pick it up. Worst case, it’s abandoned and dmv can advise who to contact. I find it really odd that the determining factor for the police was that it was parked on private property. Sounds just plain lazy to me.

Despite the long wait times on hold, once you get through, the folks at the help desk are generally really nice and good to work with.

I’m about to move close to here! Excited to explore Beaver Brook

There are a lot of reasons why New Hampshire is better off fiscally than other places, liquor is just one. Having the fourth largest lower house legislature in the English-speaking world, creates its own citizen rule dynamic. They get paid almost nothing, except for the miles they drive. Either highly motivated young people, or retired people with nothing better to do.

I’m not sure how they do it now. But I was 4 when I entered grammar school. And 17 when I graduated high school. School started in august, I think? My birth date is in late September, also went to school with a girl in the same grade who’s birthday was late November

Saw it at the new Market Basket in Concord a few days ago

I voted for him once, and felt he did a decent job of managing the state. Since 2020, and his failure to disavow Trump and the assault on Congress, I want nothing to do with him. I've heard him say Trump is 'crazy' only to take it back and say it was a 'joke' at a roast. The Trump thing is bad enough. The deal breaker is the assault on Congress.
