2015-2016 school, and Nashua High School South is ranked #59. Thus, the two high schools in
the Nashua School District are ranked with the bottom 25% of the high schools in New

Public Comments to Nashua Board of Aldermen
9 November 2016

Ordinance O-16-11 Reduced Taxation for Charter Schools has lingered “on the table” for about 6
months.

Let us examine the facts.

Two charter schools are located in Nashua: the Academy for Science and Design (ASD) and the

MicroSociety Academy.

> ASD (grades 6-12) has 525 students, of whom 263 reside in Nashua.
> MicroSociety (grades K-8) has 151 students, of whom 96 reside in Nashua.

President McCarthy

All of those were built as a direct result of the Clean Water Act. | suggest we move that discussion to when
the meeting is held.

Mr. Sullivan

My concern too is the lack of information available to the rate payers of this system pertaining to what is
going on. | know that different groups; | think there is the Pennichuck Water Special Committee, there is a
Merrimack Committee and | don’t think Alderman McCarthy has met with that committee for about 2 % years.
