The Latest Updates from NTU COPE

Congratulations to Mayor Jim Donchess on his victory in the Mayoral Primary! Mayor Donchess won the primary but we still have to win the general election in November. 

We're also making candidate endorsements on September 28th at 4:00pm at the NTU Office for Aldermen and Board of Education.

Under the New Hampshire state law, any person over the age of 18 is a mandated reporter.  The Nashua School District has two policies related to mandated reporting in accordance with the New Hampshire RSAs. Right now, most of you are in remote learning.  If you don't know what you saw is reportable, you should seek assistance in deciding if you should report it.  If you are truly unsure of what to do, you can contact the DCYF Intake line and let them decide if it's reportable.  Your administration and school counselors are excellent resources.
