The start of the 2024-2025 academic year began by welcoming back all members to our WLC leadership team
and adding Amber Brewster as the new Athletic Director at WLC. The Board has recognized the benefits of
having consistency in our leadership staff and has focused on fostering an environment that promotes positive
accountability. We continue to encourage personal and professional growth as well as individual and team
reflection. We understand it takes everyone to achieve our mission of providing a safe and educational
environment that promotes student exploration, critical thinking, and responsible citizenship.
This year we took time to reflect on feedback the community provided during the last District Meeting. We
began in February of 2025 by reviewing our previous Strategic Plan from 2019 and information on the scope
and purpose of a Strategic Plan. We discussed our need to review enrollment numbers over time, how to
effectively utilize our three schools, and how we can continue our mission of improving opportunities and
outcomes for our students while maintaining a sustainable budget. The process has started and is currently in
committee. They have focused their attention this past year on delegating to Administration the task of
researching enrollment, building usage, fiscal impacts of different options for our students and the future for
the district. The process is just in the beginning stages and we will be spending time over the next fiscal year
gathering feedback from all the stakeholders.
The 2024-2025 fiscal year was a busy time for facilities; we had a change in The Director of Facilities as we
welcomed Ben Hofstetter. Ben is an outstanding addition to our district. Last year the community approved a
Capital Improvement Plan and guiding policy that budgeted maintenance and projects through 2039. The CIP
allows us to continue to make sure our facilities’ maintenance is up to date and allows us to make sure our
facilities are kept in tip-top shape for all our future generations of students for years to come.
We are truly excited and grateful for the incredible support we receive from our dedicated community
members and parents who generously volunteer their time and resources. Your contributions play a vital role
in our mission to empower our students toward lasting success. We warmly invite all citizens of SAU63 to
visit our schools and witness firsthand the passionate efforts that go into trying to provide the best possible
education for our students. We firmly believe that our schools are on a path of continuous improvement, and
we are committed to pursuing new opportunities for growth and development. Together, we are shaping
graduates who make our schools and communities proud!
Respectfully submitted,
Dennis Golding, SAU 63 School Board Chair

Dear Residents of Wilton and Lyndeborough,
At the annual district meeting in March 2025, the Budget Committee presented a proposed operating budget
of $15,841,908 for FY 2025-2026 exclusive of warrant articles. During the district meeting, voters added
$168,300 to fund 2.4 full-time staff positions that were reduced in the original budget. The final voter
approved operating budget was $16,010,208, which represents an increase of 5.15% from the prior-year
operating budget. Substantial increases were seen in the following categories–health insurance ($296,508),
employee salaries including CBA ($173,064), transportation ($98,195), special education (547,250).
We thank the voters for their support throughout this challenging period!
In June, the fiscal year closed with $507,746 in unspent funds of which $231,702 was used for additional
health care costs. In August, preparations began for the fiscal year 2025-2026 budget season. The Budget
Committee requested a first draft budget to be developed before individual departments presented their
individual budgets to the committee. The first draft was developed and provided to the Budget Committee in
September. We understand how challenging this was for staff as they traversed the first few weeks of school,
but it provided valuable insight to the committee into the overall direction of the operating budget.
Over the following months, administration and department heads presented to the School Board and
Budget Committee for their respective departments. We had fruitful conversations and debates throughout,
and we heard directly from those who prepared their budgets. The Budget Committee requested additional
details throughout and for the administration to perform a secondary, deeper review to refine the budget
lower. We thank all those involved in the budgeting process for their diligence, transparency, and effort.
Finally, we thank the taxpayers for their financial commitment to our resolute, hardworking teachers. We
spend many hours debating the value each dollar delivers in creating the optimal learning environment for
our students while considering the impact on our taxpayers. All Budget Committee meetings are held in
public session and broadcast live on Google Meet, and the committee always welcomes public feedback.

Superintendent Annual Report 2024-2025
We began the year with 534 students and ended the school year with 539 students. While there was an
increase of four students, our overall District enrollment has slowly declined over time. This trend is
occurring in many school districts throughout NH. We are intending to explore programs and activities that
may draw students from outside our District to attend our schools, while also continuing to improve the
teaching and learning in our classrooms.
We are pleased to report that we utilized our remaining ESSER III grant funds to replace our WLC boilers
($225,000), provide a special education extended school year (ESY) behavior specialist, fund our IReady
assessment resources for students and staff, provide extended learning for our Kindergarten students, and
support our FRES summer academy and WLC summer enrichment programs & credit recovery. Looking
ahead, we will assess these programs and seek other avenues of funding for the programs and activities we
decide to maintain.
There has been a tremendous amount of public education related activity in the NH Legislature recently. We
are monitoring and preparing plans to address the impact of the 2024 legislative sessions on our District.
Over 40 education-related bills were passed by the NH Legislature. These bills are related to curriculum
requirements, finance, etc. In the 2025 legislative session, over 50 public education bills were approved by
both the House and Senate by the end of regular session. Some bills such as HB10, Parental Bill of Rights
and SB 295 expanding Education Freedom Accounts have been signed by the Governor, while others may
still be waiting action.
Much like prior years, we were able to return to the community via unassigned fund balance a substantial
amount. This year, unspent funds returned totaled $507,475.84 of which we were successful in using
$231,701.85 to offset the increased costs of healthcare.
Looking ahead, we will work closely with the Budget Committee and School Board to build an operating
budget that meets the needs of our students and schools while maintaining focus on the expectations of fiscal
responsibility. We want to continue to build the trust and support with our communities that we have worked
so hard to grow.
We are very excited for the upcoming school year and look forward to working with our new teachers and
staff. On behalf of SAU 63, I want to extend our gratitude for all the support the Wilton and Lyndeborough
communities continue to extend to our district. From the many volunteers at our schools and our very active
PTOs, to supporting our working budgets at our annual meetings, we are so appreciative of the overwhelming
community support for our students and our schools.

The fall-to-spring data is a testament to the growth our students in grades K-5 have made in Math and Reading.
We are proud of their achievements and the efforts of our dedicated teachers.
Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment
During the 2024–2025 school year, Florence Rideout Elementary School and Lyndeborough Central School focused on
strengthening instructional coherence through collaborative planning, data-informed decision-making, and ongoing
curriculum review. This year marked the fifth year of implementation of the Envisions Mathematics program, and a
district math committee actively examined instructional outcomes and researched potential mathematics programs to
support a pilot phase in the 2026–2027 school year. Concurrently, the district continued updating districtwide curriculum
documents to ensure alignment, consistency, and clarity, with this year’s work centered on social studies and Unified
Arts/specials.
Instructional teams used diagnostic and progress-monitoring data to inform targeted instruction and intervention, allowing
educators to respond proactively to student needs. Professional learning remained aligned to instructional priorities,
including continued use of i-Ready data and the implementation of the Magnetics program to strengthen foundational
literacy. Together, these efforts reflect a deliberate, forward-looking approach to instructional improvement, positioning
FRES and LCS to continue refining curriculum, instruction, and assessment practices to support sustained student growth.
The Wilton-Lyndeborough Cooperative School District does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex,
handicap, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or marital status in its administration of educational programs, activities or
employment practice.
29
Community Engagement
FRES and LCS placed a strong emphasis on building relationships and strengthening the home–school connection
throughout the year. Well-attended Parent Information Nights at both schools provided families with opportunities to
connect with teachers, understand classroom expectations, and support student learning at home. In partnership with the
PTO, the schools hosted a variety of community-building events, including BINGO nights, Skate Night, and dance events,
strengthening school spirit and family engagement. Collaborations with local first responders, including Police, EMS, and
Fire Departments, supported safety education and prevention efforts, while additional community partnerships, such as
visits to local libraries, the town theater, and Nelson’s Candy, enriched student learning and strengthened connections
within the Wilton and Lyndeborough communities.
Increasing Opportunities
Throughout the 2024–2025 school year, Florence Rideout Elementary School and Lyndeborough Central School expanded
opportunities for students through a variety of academic, enrichment, and extracurricular offerings. Students participated
in after-school writing, Chess Club, Robotics, and Girls on the Run, supporting opportunities to build creativity,
problem-solving skills, teamwork, and confidence. Summer programming, including Summer Academy, ESY, and RISE,
supported continued learning and student engagement beyond the traditional school year. In addition, school-wide
assemblies, enrichment programs, and PTO-sponsored activities further enhanced student experiences, contributing to a
well-rounded educational environment that supports academic growth, social-emotional development, and a strong sense
of belonging.

Technology Director Annual Report 2024-2025
If last year marked the moment when the Information Technology Department began to run, the 2024–2025 school
year was when we truly found our stride. This year brought significant change, including the departure of our
information technology technician at Florence Rideout and the graduation of our student intern. Together, these
losses created a substantial gap in our department and put our long-term focus on institutional memory to the test.
Documentation and knowledge continuity have been central goals of my work at SAU 63, and I am gratified to
report that our existing body of knowledge held up well under the strain of staff turnover.
Over the summer, we replaced the vast majority of printers and copiers across the district—a process that took
approximately one day. While that day bordered on chaos, the rapid pace resulted in minimal administrative
downtime. I extend my sincere thanks to the administrative team for their flexibility and patience; although the
disruption was brief, their offices were a true beehive of activity.
The website facelift also proceeded smoothly. Aside from planning, the entire effort took only a single day. The
project has been well received so far, which is noteworthy given how often visual changes to websites are met with
resistance. Our web administrators were particularly relieved that no backend systems were altered in the process.
ParentSquare was successfully implemented and rolled out this year. I dedicated a significant portion of our
welcome-back week to training staff on the new platform, and those sessions were met with enthusiasm and
curiosity. To date, there have been 122 posts covering everything from athletics and bus scheduling to classroom
newsletters, and I am very pleased with the level of engagement. We also sent our first digital permission slip for
the seniors’ Mount Monadnock hike. While creating the form required a considerable upfront effort, the resulting
process was far more streamlined than traditional paper slips—so much so that I expect digital permissions to
become the default moving forward.
We also took full advantage of professional development opportunities offered by the state through a federal
cybersecurity grant, a unique investment that has already proven invaluable. Three months into the program, the
results are encouraging. Our technician at WLC has completed the CompTIA Network+ course and gained the
certification. The knowledge gained is already paying dividends in day-to-day troubleshooting and network
management.
The recent graduation livestream was another notable success, drawing a larger-than-expected virtual audience of
family, friends, and community members unable to attend in person. While the broadcast itself was not as smooth
as I would have liked—audio quality in particular needs improvement, the positive response has encouraged school
administration and me to explore expanding our livestreaming efforts.
With every system we implement and learn, we continue to grow our collective body of knowledge. That
knowledge is the foundation of the institutional memory we are working to build. Looking ahead, my goal for the
coming years is to further develop plans and procedures that ensure continuity of operations. To return to the earlier
analogy: this year we found our stride—next year, I want us to run faster.

Curriculum Coordinator Annual Report 2024-2025
Curriculum
Status of Curriculum Documents
One of the goals for the curriculum for our district was to continue to vet, and develop our uniform curriculum
documents for publishing on our district website. Over the last year, our staff has worked to get uniform Unit
Plan documents. You can now find our Math documents from Kindergarten through grade 21 on our district
website under the Curriculum tab. The middle and high school completed their English Language Arts
documents were completed in previous years. Other content areas are currently being vetted prior to posting on
the website. Moving forward, our staff are continuing to work on refining Unit Plans and posting those
documents on our district website in the future.
With the new 306 Minimum Standards for Education being approved, we started to align our content area courses
to the requirements. We started our focus with Social Studies as there were several changes to required courses
in this area.
Curriculum Committee
In the Fall of 2025, a Curriculum Committee was formed on a volunteer basis. This was composed of classroom
teachers from grades K-2 and 3-5, as well as representatives from the Unified Arts (specials), and
administration. This group met eight times, rotating between FRES and WLC for hosting privileges. To move
forward, the Curriculum Committee should review our science curriculum to look at alignment across the district
as well as review relevant data for our students to determine effectiveness.
The ELA subcommittee, developed the previous year, continued to meet and vet possible ELA programs for the
upper elementary students. A program was selected (Magnetics Reading and Ready Writing) and a pilot of the
program was initiated. In order to get a full picture of the program, the pilot was recommended to continue into
the next school year. Moving forward, a math subcommittee should be established to review our math
programming due to contracts coming to an end with our K-8 math programs.
Instruction
The Principals/Assistant Principal, Curriculum Coordinator, and Superintendent began a book study of John
Hattie's “Visible Learning: The Sequel: A Synthesis of Over 2,100 Meta-Analyses Relating to Achievement”.
We used this to anchor our professional development for the school year. Teachers continued to implement John
Hattie’s research-based instructional practices throughout the district.
Prior to the start of the school year, the building-level administrators met to discuss our pre and post observation
meetings to work on aligning our observations across the district. As part of this, we continued to utilize the
pre/post observation questions developed in previous years. I supported primarily at FRES and LCS to ensure
all teachers received the required amount of observations and even wrote several Summative Evaluations for
teaching staff in both buildings.

Professional Development
District Professional Development
With the adoption of a new benchmarking assessment tool last year, staff still needed some time to learn more
intricate resources available on the platform. We had 7 professional development days, which were devoted to:
iReady training - learning more about resources available
Completing the mandatory training (reporting child abuse, Title IX, safety information, etc.)
Analyzing data, using it to inform instruction
Meeting as transition teams between grade levels and buildings
Learning de-escalation strategies (part of the CPI training)
Developing/Writing Curriculum
CPR training for a variety of staff members
Autism
Phonics Instruction
Use of online instructional tools (Google Classroom, Google Forms, Google Sheets, Canva, etc.)
Review/overhaul of Special Education paperwork
Several elementary school classroom teachers voluntarily went to a week-long training (OGAP) to learn more
about how to build the foundational skills.
As part of my goals as Curriculum Coordinator, I continue to work on providing professional development to
teachers at a more personalized level. In an effort to do so, we held a professional development day where
teachers selected from several options what they needed to work on as individuals. This professional
development day was a half-day with three sessions, each session offering 5 or more different options.
This year, we implemented a pilot ELA program in grades 3-5, the Magnetics Reading and Ready Writing
programs, to support our teachers in implementing the Science of Reading.
Professional Development Committee
The Professional Development Committee was composed of 7 members, including representatives from K-2,
special education, and administration. This group met 6 times throughout the year to build an outline of our
professional development calendar, review feedback from previous professional development days, brainstorm
ideas regarding how to use grant funding to support professional learning, and prioritize our professional
development offerings for the year.
New Teacher Orientation and Mentoring
The New Teacher Program supported nine new teachers to our district. We met twice over the summer to orient
the new teachers to the district and acclimate them to their buildings. Once the school year began, we met six
times throughout the school year with the Curriculum Coordinator, and the WLC Assistant Principal, who also
met on at least a monthly basis with their mentor teacher. Based on feedback we received from the previous
years new teachers, we added an additional 6 meetings that were optional for teachers to attend. The intention
of these meetings was for teachers to attend with specific questions, or concerns for us to address/support them
with.
Assessment
Assessments conducted throughout the year:
iReady in grades K-9
NH SAS Modular Assessments Mathematics and English Language Arts in grades 3-8
NHSAS Mathematics and English Language Arts in grades 3-8
NH SAS Science in grades 5,8, and 11
PSAT/SAT in grades 9, 10, and 11
Data
SAT:
8.9% increase in average score from the NMSQT in the fall to the SAT in the spring
Our average score is 3 points higher than the nation-wide average

NH SAS:
Our NH SAS scores have dropped, particularly in the area of math. We are working to correct these
scores with several ideas for improvement. We did a comprehensive review of our math program and
are working to have a new program selected for the 26-27 school year. Though this process we have met
with and visited other schools to learn more about what programs they use.
In addition, we are hoping for stability across our math teachers in the 26-27 school year, for the first
time since 2020.
In both ELA and Mathematics, teachers are administering the modular assessments to better prepare
students for the state assessment.
We are providing professional development in the area of mathematics and ELA.
iReady:
Where state-wide and nation-wide data is available, our students are outperforming both consistently
across multiple grade-levels.
