School Administrative Unit 21 actively tries to locate any un-served children with educational disabilities (or with suspicion of educational disabilities), who reside within the SAU 21 school districts. We are interested in any children, age 0-22 who may have mental, emotional, or physical limitations. We may be able to provide services that could make a lasting difference for these children through referring, identifying, and evaluating their needs. If you are aware of any un-serviced children, please bring them to our attention by contacting Patrice Baker at 603-926-8992 x 117 or pbaker@sau21.org

SAU21 Districts shall retain a student's special education records until at least the student's 26th birthday, unless written consent to destroy the records is received from the parent or adult student. Certain records will be kept permanently in accord with federal and state law and regulation. The District shall maintain a copy of the last IEP that was in effect prior to the student's exit from special education until the student's 30th birthday.

If an adult student desires a copy of his or her special education records, he or she must contact the Office of the Superintendent of Schools to make an official request. Signed written requests are preferred. If a student chooses to request records by telephone, he or she will be required to pick the records up in person and sign to verify receipt of records.  Except for the last IEP, Special Education Records for students born in 1995 or earlier will be destroyed on or about February 1, 2025. 

Youth employment papers are currently being processed by the NH Department of Labor or at the SAU office BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Please click here OR contact Nancy Gosselin at 603-926-8992 X 101 or njgosselin@sau21.org to make an appointment.

In addition to many no-cost resources, SAU21 Districts have partnered with the Cook Center for Human Connection to offer private 1:1 coaching sessions with a trained mental health coach to interested families and staff members. These sessions include a weekly 30 minute phone call and 24/7 access to a professional via text or email. The service is offered in English or Spanish. The Cook Center provides a customized roadmap of support based on family needs. We anticipate that this will be an invaluable resource for families. Click on the icon below to get started.
