Synthesized from public, attributable sources. Updated May 2026.Reviewed for accuracy.

Mason Elementary School (MES) is part of the SAU 89 district in New Hampshire. The school is preparing for the 2026-2027 kindergarten registration cycle. In response to New Hampshire House Bill 1265, which mandates open enrollment for all public schools in the state, the district is proposing specific parameters for student transfers. The proposal seeks to limit outgoing students to 1% of the MES population and allow up to 10% of students residing outside Mason to attend MES. Additionally, the district proposes allowing up to 10% of middle and high school students to attend public schools other than Milford Middle and High School. The district notes that accepting incoming students provides tuition reimbursement equal to 80% of the sending district’s cost per pupil, while sending students out incurs costs. A deliberative session regarding the proposed budget and these warrant articles was scheduled for February 7. The district also held elections for School Board Members, the School Board Clerk, and the District Moderator, with sign-ups closing on January 30. An Annual Family Dance was held on February 6.
