The Jaffrey-Rindge School Board added new restrictions to its public comment policy last week which forbid the current teachers’ union president – or any other person who does not live in Jaffrey or Rindge – from speaking at board meetings.
During its meeting on March 1, the board adopted changes to its School Board comments policy, restricting comments to those who live within the district, which excludes staff members who work in the schools but live outside of Jaffrey and Rindge.

A Jaffrey man was arrested Monday night after allegedly leading a police chase through New Ipswich, Jaffrey and Rindge.
Gavin Anderson, 27, of Jaffrey, was arrested by Rindge police Monday and charged with possession of marijuana, though Jaffrey police say they intend to bring further charges related to the chase.
Jaffrey received a be-on-the-lookout alert from New Ipswich for Anderson’s pickup truck Monday night and spotted as it passed their police department at about 11:26 p.m., Jaffrey Police Chief Todd Muilenberg said.
Police followed the vehicle through Goodnow Street, Nutting Street and onto Peterborough Street, attempting to pull over the vehicle, but lights and sirens were ignored, Muilenberg said.
