Allenstown School Board

The Allenstown School Board consists of several members who develop an annual budget for the town schools and for Allenstown's portion of the Pembroke Academy budget. (School budgets runs from July 1 to June 30.) School Board members are elected for three-year terms.

After the March 2022 election, Crystal Venegas was re-elected to a one-year term and Kelsey Menelaus Charest was elected for a three year term. On the SAU web site, Kris Raymond's name was changed to Kris Bellerose but her Facebook page shows it as Kris Bellerose Raymond. At the March 14 board meeting, Peter Warburton read a letter in which Carl Schaeffer resigned from the board. The board also voted for Jody Moore to be the new Chairwoman. ("Chair" sounds so cancel culture.) The school board web site now shows a notice of a vacancy for a one-year term to fill Mr. Schaefer's vacated position.
