SUMMARY:Right to Know Pt. I: Overview & Introduction
DESCRIPTION:The “Right to Know Law”\, RSA 91-A\, gives enforceable weight to the public’s right under the New Hampshire Constitution to ”access governmental proceedings and records”. As the right to open government is established in the Constitution\, more than anything 91-A establishes the legal boundaries of when access to meetings or records might be limited. The statute imposes multiple – sometimes counter intuitive\, sometimes obscure – requirements and restrictions on how boards\, board members and district employees communicate with each other and with the public. The law’s requirements and restrictions apply to all board members immediately upon taking oath of office.   \n\n\n\nThis two-part series covers the areas of the Right to Know law that most directly impact board members when performing the duties of their office.  \n\n\n\nPart 1 is a general introduction to the statute in its entirety. While intended as a general introduction for new school members to the many parts and application of the Right to Know law\, it can serve as a meaningful refresher for all school board members and district administrators.

DESCRIPTION:Email\, social media\, and instant messaging have made it easier for the world to communicate. Many board members run for election with the idea that a former board did not communicate enough with the public. But provisions of the Right to Know law\, other legal authorities and practical considerations impose restrictions on communications outside of public meetings. This webinar will help identify those issues as they relate to digital communications and present some practice tips for board member digital communications.

SUMMARY:Right to Know Pt. I: Overview & Introduction
DESCRIPTION:The “Right to Know Law”\, RSA 91-A\, gives enforceable weight to the public’s right under the New Hampshire Constitution to ”access governmental proceedings and records”. As the right to open government is established in the Constitution\, more than anything 91-A establishes the legal boundaries of when access to meetings or records might be limited. The statute imposes multiple – sometimes counter intuitive\, sometimes obscure – requirements and restrictions on how boards\, board members and district employees communicate with each other and with the public. The law’s requirements and restrictions apply to all board members immediately upon taking oath of office.   \n\n\n\nThis three part series covers the areas of the Right to Know law that most directly impact board members when performing the duties of their office. Although the three webinars are somewhat independent\, Part 3\, especially\, assumes some familiarity with material covered in Parts 1 and 2.   \n\n\n\nPart 1 is a general introduction to the statute in its entirety. While intended as a general introduction for new school members to the many parts and application of the Right to Know law\, it can serve as a meaningful refresher for all school board members and district administrators.
