Town Meeting season has once again started in the Upper Valley. On the New Hampshire side of the region, many school districts are holding deliberative sessions this weekend.
A deliberative session is when residents have a chance to weigh in on the proposed articles — including the budget — and amend them before they go before voters later in March. All voting takes place via Australian ballot Tuesday, March 8, unless otherwise noted.
Here is a list of upcoming deliberative sessions in New Hampshire.
