Supreme Court of New Hampshire

Appeal of Rye School District

December 2, 2020

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire affirmed the State Board of Education’s decision overturning the Rye School Board’s denial of a reassignment request, holding that the Board’s findings were not unreasonable and that the appeal was properly before this court. The Court also clarified that a State Board finding of manifest educational hardship under RSA 193:3 is appealable under RSA chapter 541 and rejected the District’s due‑process and procedural claims.
