D.​ SAU Proposed Budget 
Business Administrator Ford presented the SAU 67 – Fiscal Year 2026-27 proposed budget to the Board.  He 
highlighted some areas of interest.  The proposed SAU budget shows an increase of approximately $91,000 from the 
last fiscal year and it made up of more than 90% salaries and benefits.  This budget reflects no change in staffing for 
SAU 67.  A 4% increase in salaries is proposed for all SAU 67 staff and two of the support staff have qualified for a 
longevity bonus.  There has been a significant change in the rate charged for health insurance to 16.1% from Health 
Trust.  The budget reflects current employee elections which includes a change from waiving insurance to taking 
insurance.  There is no increase in the employer’s contribution to the New Hampshire Retirement System (NHRS). 
Dental insurance has increased by 4.4%.  The overall change in benefits is projected to be 14.22% or $58,257. 
 
Administrator Ford advised the Board that their financial accounting software is now owned by a non-New 
Hampshire-based company, and he is now concerned with the long-term prospects for software support and updates.  
The new company is considering the current accounting software as “legacy” software and is supporting it for now.  
The SAU is not currently proposing a change.  He wanted to make the Board aware of the situation noting that a 
change in software is expensive and takes time to implement.  There will be a Public Hearing on the proposed 
budget in December and an SAU 67 meeting directly after. 
 
E.​ 2026-2027 School Year Calendar 
The proposed 2026-27 school calendar generally mirrors the proposed 2026 – 2027 Concord School District 
Academic Calendar.  Two versions of the SAU 67 school calendar have been included in the meeting packet.  The 
differences are in the dates for parent teacher conferences.  One calendar sets aside November 9th and 10th and the 
other calendar lists parent teacher conferences on November 23rd and 24th.  There was some discussion on the 
proposed dates proximity to Thanksgiving. 
 
The Board discussed lengthening the school day by some number of minutes (i.e. 10 minutes) so the last day of 
school would occur at an earlier date.  The length of the school day hasn’t changed in a long time. Any change 
would have to be renegotiated with teachers and staff.
