Hampton School District sets key dates for 2026 Annual Meeting
HAMPTON — The Hampton School District has released the schedule for its 2026 School District Meeting, outlining a series of public sessions, voting dates, and filing deadlines that will shape next year’s school governance and budget decisions.
The process begins with the Hampton Budget Committee’s public hearing on both the school and town budgets, scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 15, at 6 p.m. in Hampton Town Hall. The hearing gives residents an early opportunity to review and comment on proposed spending plans.
The first session of the Annual Meeting—known as the deliberative session—will take place on Wednesday, Feb. 4, at 7 p.m. in the Hampton Academy auditorium, with a snow date of Feb. 5. During this session, registered voters will discuss and amend the warrant articles that will later appear on the official ballot.
The second session, Hampton’s traditional voting day, is set for Tuesday, March 10. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. in the Winnacunnet High School dining hall. Absentee ballots will be available through the Town Clerk’s office during regular hours until Monday, March 9.
Voters will elect one school board member to a three‑year term ending in 2029. Candidates may file with the Town Clerk beginning Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2026; the filing period closes at 5 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 30.
The district will post the full warrant and the HB 1265 report by Jan. 26 at Town Hall, Lane Library, and Hampton Schools. Supporting materials—including the proposed operating budget and detailed warrant article information—will also be available on the SAU 90 website under the operations section.
