SOMERSWORTH – Teams of two volunteers and one health care professional walked door-to-door Wednesday to administer second doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to residents in five of the Somersworth Housing Authority s buildings.
The hallways were lined with residents who sat ready, poised in their kitchen chairs they were told to place in their apartment doorway. The Strafford County Public Health Network volunteers went to each door, carrying a bright purple duffle bag filled with supplies to administer the vaccine and handouts on what side effects to expect.
The clinic was a follow up to first-dose vaccines administered in February to Somersworth Housing Authority residents in the Filion Terrace Apartments, Queensbury Mill Apartments, Charpentier Apartments and Albert Jack LaBonte Maple St. Apartments.

PORTSMOUTH – After months of remote learning forced by the unfolding COVID-19 pandemic last spring, school districts around the country approached summer break with a major problem.
Many students had fallen off the bandwagon – uninterested, uninspired, and unable to access the resources they needed to maintain what knowledge they did acquire during the unusual school year. Summer learning loss, schools feared, was about to be compounded by the so-called COVID slide, or the achievement gap related to disrupted education and long-term remote learning.

PORTSMOUTH – It s a tale as old as time in New Hampshire.
Despite several state Supreme Court rulings, including two findings of unconstitutionality, the income and sales tax-less Granite State cannot come to a consensus over how to adequately and equitably fund its public schools.
According to 2018 Census data, New Hampshire s percentage of state funding per student was the lowest in the country. And its reliance on property taxes goes unmatched.
The city of Portsmouth has been working quietly to lead a renewed lobbying effort to bat down a potential proposal alluded to in a 181-page final report released in December by the state Legislature s Commission to Study School Funding.
