What Goffstown School District does

Goffstown School District is a public K-12 school district in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, governed by an elected school board under New Hampshire state education law and operating as part of School Administrative Unit #19 (SAU#19), a shared administrative unit that also serves New Boston School District. SAU#19 is led by Superintendent Brian Balke and consolidates leadership functions across both districts, including Assistant Superintendent Wendy Kohler, Business Administrator Douglas Totten, and directors of Special Education, Human Resources, Facilities, and Technology. The district operates six schools total — Bartlett Elementary, Glen Lake, Maple Avenue, Mountain View Middle School, and Goffstown High School within Goffstown, plus New Boston Central School — serving students from preschool through grade 12 with academic, athletic, performing arts, special education, Title I, and adult education programs.

The district's technology backbone is built on PowerSchool as the Student Information System (managing enrollment, attendance, grades, and discipline with state-mandated reporting) and Schoology as the Learning Management System, supported by Microsoft 365 for email and productivity (with free five-device student licensing), Google Workspace for Education (grades 3-12), Adobe Creative Cloud (grades 5-12), Naviance for college and career planning (grades 7-12), Hudl for athletics, and Kaltura for video content. Cybersecurity and data governance are managed centrally through ADFS password management with grade-specific complexity rules and monitoring aligned to RSA 189:66 vetted digital resource requirements.

The business model is non-commercial: core K-12 education is funded through local property taxation and New Hampshire state education aid with no direct tuition. Supplemental fee-based programs include a $260/month developmental preschool role model program at Glen Lake School, adult education through the GAP program at Goffstown High School, and athletic and co-curricular activity fees. Communication with families is handled through the School Messenger platform, the district website (sau19.org), individual school Facebook pages, school newsletters, and community/board meetings.

• Bedford School District (SAU#25): Neighboring New Hampshire K-12 public school district of comparable size serving Bedford, also organized as an SAU. Operates preschool through grade 12 with similar EdTech stack and faces the same NH state funding model and demographic pressures as Goffstown.
• Concord School District (SAU#8): New Hampshire's capital-city school district serving students K-12 under an SAU model. Similar public funding and administrative structure with a broader urban footprint, providing a reference point for scaling shared services.
• Windham School District (SAU#95): Southern NH K-12 district of comparable scale and structure, operating elementary through high school programs under the same NH SAU framework. Similar funding model and reliance on statewide SIS/LMS reporting.
• Londonderry School District (SAU#12): Southern NH K-12 district of similar size operating under an SAU administrative model with preschool-through-grade-12 programs. Directly comparable on funding structure, school count, and student support services.
