ARP ESSER III

The Gilford School District has received $1,246,509.89 as our allocation for the ARP ESSER III grant.  These grant funds are available to the local school district until September 30, 2024.  Twenty percent of the ARP ESSER III funds must be set aside to address learning loss.  For the Gilford School District we must set aside $249,302.00 to address learning loss.

The remaining funds are intended to assist school districts in response to COVID-19.  Some of those items may include instructional technology, protective equipment, cleaning supplies, air exchange or ventilation systems, social and emotional learning, staffing and supporting academic growth.  
We are currently in the process of developing priorities for the ARP ESSER III grant. If you are interested in providing input or suggestions regarding the use of ARP ESSER III funds, please submit information to [email protected].  Thank you for your help.

Fingerprinting for Volunteers and Chaperones

The Gilford School District welcomes volunteers in our schools.

A fingerprint background check is required in all Gilford schools for individuals, volunteers and chaperones engaged in the following activities:

Once a thorough background investigation and criminal records check is complete with no disqualifying records and the volunteer has completed orientation, the volunteer will be issued an identification badge to be worn every time the volunteer works in the school.  

Fingerprint clinics are scheduled at the SAU office located at 2 Belknap Mountain Road.  A photo ID is required for identification.  

The process takes approximately 30 minutes. A photo will be taken for the ID badge.

Anyone who volunteers in the Gilford School District must complete an annual Volunteer Affidavit and Confidentiality Agreement.  

Volunteers who have already been issued an ID badge and would like a new badge for the 2022-2023 school year need to complete the Volunteer Affidavit and Confidentiality Agreement and submit to the SAU office. Every four years volunteers will need to go through the background investigation and criminal records check at the SAU office.
