Superintendent Update – Historic vote, selling Eastman School
Dear Concord Families, Students & Staff -
Last Thursday, the Board of Education set and approved a budget cap for the new middle school. This is a historic decision for our district and our community. Site work is planned to start in April 2026. We will continue to share updates on this important project.

Election Day – Polling Locations
Tuesday, November 4 is election day in Concord. There is no school for students as Beaver Meadow, Broken Ground and Christa McAuliffe schools are used as polling locations. The polling location for each ward is on the city’s website: Polling Locations / Hours | Concord, NH - Official Website

Selling Eastman School
In September, the Board of Education approved a ballot item seeking approval to sell Eastman School. If approved, the Board will create a steering committee of board members, residents and professionals to oversee the sale of the property. Proceeds from the sales would go to the district’s Facilities and Renovation Trust Fund, which would be used to reduce the tax impact of the middle school project. This same process was followed when Walker and Rumford schools were sold. RS 194:61 requires that public chartered schools must be offered right of first refusal. A buyer would need approval with the city’s planning and zoning boards. Learn more. https://www.sau8.org/67486?articleID=40882
