In their wordsVerbatim, exactly as submitted

“I would encourage an amendment to this bill to allow the Concord School Board to choose to appoint a Treasurer, and to revert to an elected Treasurer, by majority vote of the Board. Concord does not have school district meetings so this would not apply as written.…”
