CLAREMONT SCHOOL DISTRICT

What CLAREMONT SCHOOL DISTRICT does

Claremont School District, formally operating as School Administrative Unit #6 (SAU#6), is a public K-12 governmental entity serving the communities of Claremont and Unity in New Hampshire. As of the 2025-2026 school year the district operates five schools following the October 2025 consolidation of Bluff Elementary into Disnard Elementary and Maple Avenue Elementary: Stevens High School (grades 9-12), Claremont Middle School (grades 6-8), Disnard Elementary and Maple Avenue Elementary (grades K-5), and Unity Elementary School (grades K-8 in Newport), plus the Sugar River Valley Regional Technical Center for career and technical education. The district also administers federal Title I programs (Schoolwide Model at CMS, Disnard, and Maple; Targeted Assistance at Unity), McKinney-Vento homeless education services, ESOL, and special education for ages 3-22.

The district's technology platform is a conventional public-sector EdTech stack: PowerSchool for the Student Information System (attendance, grading, scheduling, state reporting, parent portal), ParentSquare for two-way family communications, MySchoolBucks/MySchoolApps for meal payments, Frontline Education's AppliTrack for HR and recruitment, and Google Workspace plus Microsoft 365 for identity and productivity. The internal SAU6 EdTech Ecosystem (hosted on Padlet as App Pad) is used to vet, approve, and monitor educational applications, and the district participates in the A4L Student Data Privacy Consortium for governance. Meal pricing for 2025-2026 ranges from $1.50-$2.25 for breakfast and $3.00-$4.00 for lunch depending on school level, with free/reduced programs available via SNAP or direct application.

Revenue derives from public education funding, primarily local property taxes, New Hampshire state adequacy aid, and federal grants including Title I and McKinney-Vento, with school boards approving annual budgets in public meetings. The district has no private parent company, is governed by elected school boards, and is currently in transition: a $4 million emergency loan from Claremont Savings Bank was repaid in full with the bank returning the $10,563.11 in interest; Unity School District is planning to become fully independent from SAU#6 around July 1, 2026; and a near-complete leadership refresh, including incoming Superintendent Dr. Tim Broadrick and new principals at CMS and Maple Avenue, is being implemented in 2026.
