§ 780. Applicability of New Hampshire laws—Article X A.

  • General School Laws. With respect to the operation and maintenance of any school of the district located
    in New Hampshire, the provisions of New Hampshire law shall apply except as otherwise
    provided in this compact and except that the powers and duties of the school board
    shall be exercised and discharged by the interstate board and the powers and duties
    of the union superintendent shall be exercised and discharged by the interstate district
    superintendent. B. New Hampshire State Aid. A New Hampshire school district shall be entitled to receive an amount of state aid
    for operating expenditures as though its share of the interstate district’s expenses
    were the expenses of the New Hampshire member district, and as though the New Hampshire
    member district pupils attending the interstate school were attending a New Hampshire
    cooperative school district’s school. The state aid shall be paid to the New Hampshire
    member school district to reduce the sums which would otherwise be required to be
    raised by taxation within the member district. C. Continued Existence of the New Hampshire Member School District. A New Hampshire member school district shall continue in existence, and shall have
    all of the powers and be subject to all of the obligations imposed by law and not
    herein delegated to the interstate district. If the interstate district incorporates
    only a part of the schools in the member school district, then the school board of
    the member school district shall continue in existence and it shall have all of the
    powers and be subject to all of the obligations imposed by law on it and not herein
    delegated to the district. However, if all of the schools in the member school district
    are incorporated into the interstate school district, then the member or members of
    the interstate board representing the member district shall have all of the powers
    and be subject to all of the obligations imposed by law on the members of a school
    board for the member district and not herein delegated to the interstate district.
    The New Hampshire member school district shall remain liable on its existing indebtedness;
    and the interstate school district shall not become liable therefor, unless the indebtedness
    is specifically assumed in accordance with the articles of agreement. Any trust funds
    or capital reserve funds and any property not taken over by the interstate district
    shall be retained by the New Hampshire member district and held or disposed of according
    to law. If all of the schools in a member district are incorporated into an interstate
    district, then no annual meeting of the member district shall be required unless the
    members of the interstate board from the member district shall determine that there
    is occasion for such an annual meeting. D. Suit and Service of Process in New Hampshire. The courts of New Hampshire shall have the same jurisdiction over the district as
    though a New Hampshire member district were a party instead of the interstate district.
    The service necessary to institute suit in New Hampshire shall be made on the district
    by leaving a copy of the writ or other proceedings in hand or at the last and usual
    place of abode of one of the directors who reside in New Hampshire, and by mailing
    a like copy to the clerk and to one other director by certified mail with return receipt
    requested. E. Employment. Each employee of an interstate district assigned to a school located in New Hampshire
    shall be considered an employee of a New Hampshire school district for the purpose
    of the New Hampshire teachers’ retirement system, the New Hampshire state employees’
    retirement system, the New Hampshire workers’ compensation law and any other law relating
    to the regulation of employment or the provision of benefits for employees of New
    Hampshire school districts except as follows: 1. A teacher in a New Hampshire member district may elect to remain a member of the New
    Hampshire teachers’ retirement system, even though assigned to teach in an interstate
    school in Vermont. 2. Employees of interstate districts designated as professional or instructional staff
    members, as defined in article I hereof, may elect to participate in the teachers’
    retirement system of either the State of New Hampshire or the State of Vermont but
    in no case will they participate in both retirement systems simultaneously. 3. It shall be the duty of the superintendent in an interstate district to:
