NASHUA – Several Board of Education members are still not convinced there is a need for a district-sponsored charter school, which could put the proposal in jeopardy.
“The charter effort is the wrong answer to the right question,” Board of Education member Tom Vaughan said at a meeting earlier this month.
A 21-person committee has been working since the fall to draft a vision for the charter school, which would open in the fall of 2013. At a meeting held Jan. 9, some of the broad ideas of the school were revealed, including having every teacher and student equipped with an electronic device, such as a netbook, laptop or iPad, for use in the classroom and at home.
The school would serve students in grades 4 through 8, but would offer more flexibility, allowing students to move through grades levels at their own pace using a competency-based approach.
But Vaughan and several other members on the board said there are still more questions than answers Continue reading “Some on Nashua Board of Education not sold on charter plan – NashuaTelegraph.com” »

NASHUA – A few aldermen questioned the city’s handling of Pennichuck-owned property that could be commercially developed, but other officials defended the process.
The back-and-forth transpired Tuesday night shortly before the Board of Aldermen went into a non-public session with the Conservation Commission to discuss what the city can do about the Pennichuck property, with compensating the developer as a possible option.
The debate centered around a parcel off Concord Street for which the developer has city approval to build 85 units of elderly housing.
It is the last piece of untouched developable Pennichuck land in Nashua, and the developers – North Concord Street Properties LLC – can now start building Continue reading “City officials argue about Pennichuck land before meeting privately – NashuaTelegraph.com” »

NASHUA – A controversial sale of Pennichuck Corp. property has occurred just days before the company is set to be purchased by the city.
North Concord Street Properties LLC was set to close a $2.2 million land deal with Pennichuck on Monday, Mayor Donnalee Lozeau said. By closing on the deal Monday, outgoing Pennichuck officials made one last big transaction before handing over the keys to the company on Wednesday to Nashua city officials.
The developer has the city’s permission to build 85 units of elderly housing on 33 acres off Concord Street – Pennichuck’s last piece of untouched developable land in Nashua – and can now start building at any time.
The sale prompted Lozeau to ask the Board of Aldermen to meet in a non-public joint session Tuesday night with the Conservation Commission to discuss whether the city can buy the property Continue reading “Pennichuck land deal finalized as Nashua prepares to buy company – NashuaTelegraph.com” »

We need your help!
I know this may be a difficult time for many of us and understand if you are not able to donate. However, I ask that you please consider supporting the Strong Kids Campaign...a campaign which offers individuals and families opportunities to participate at the Y when they may not have the resources to do so on their own.
As a member of the YMCA of Greater Nashua Board of Directors I have established a personal goal to raise $3,000 in donations to support this campaign. This is where you come in...if each of my friends decided to support me you would just need to find $4.60. That's less than a "Happy Meal" and would be even more meaningful to the child or family you just helped.
Thank you in advance for your generosity!
Mark
