Joint boards vote to move Meadows project forward

What happened

The Gilford and Gilmanton boards voted 10-0 to move forward with the Meadows project as outlined in its plan. At the hearing, supporters cited the current shack’s limited space and lack of electricity and running water; the minutes do not state the plan’s scope or cost.

Why it matters to families

The vote advances a project at the Meadows site used by Gilford High School students, but the public minutes leave families without the project’s specifics, price, or timeline.

The evidence

The October 5, 2026 joint-board draft minutes record the 10-0 vote after a public hearing. Supporters said the existing shack was too small and lacked electricity and running water; the minutes do not describe the approved plan or give its budget or schedule. The superintendent also reported that Gilford High School students are transported to the Meadows (document 105478).
