1. The meeting was called to order at 6:30 PM.
2. Dion Lewis, WLC School Board member attended the meeting to discuss the School District Consolidation.  Mr. Lewis informed the Selectmen that the School Board has accepted the modified articles drafted by the Consolidation Committee.  Chairman Rockwood voiced his opinion that he had hoped they would say “no”.  He is concerned with Wilton.  Chairman Rockwood asked Mr. Lewis if Wilton really needs an SAU.  Chairman Rockwood suggested that each school should hire a Principal and an Administrative Assistant who would perform the administrative functions, and not have the SAU.  Mr. Lewis explained the function of the SAU and spoke of the duties of the SAU personnel.  Discussion ensued.  Selectman Donovan suggested abolishing the SAU and having Lyndeborough pay tuition for their students.  Mr. Lewis had handouts of the modified set of articles and frequently asked questions.  There was more discussion on the issue with Mr. Lewis ending by asking the Selectmen for their opinions on the consolidation.
3. At 7:35 PM Chairman Rockwood called for a non-public session per RSA 91-A3, II (c). A roll call vote with all in favor was made.
