And all of this stems from when Governor Chris Sununu sign SB263 made the Democrats political day in enshrining their latest political identity group, those suffering from gender dysphoria and social contagion (i.e., Transgenderism), as the newest “protected class” people that rate “more rights” than the typical citizen (like me and most of you). That unlocked the barn door and, as those of you who read the ‘Grok already know, lots of School Districts immediately implemented Transgender Policies (and ignored all the other policies they were supposed to create and thus are in violation of the law). While lawsuits across the nation on this (amazing, hasn’t it been, that school boards all across the country put these policies in place at the same time?), NH is a johnny-come-lately.
My lawsuit against the Gilford School Board, for being unwilling to answer two simple questions (what NH RSA gives you the Power to destroy Free Speech as well as lie to Parents about the transgender status of their child?) cost the taxpayers over $14,000. But that leaves the other two “main” Districts being sued (more on Parental Right to raise their child/hiding transgender status, and Religious Freedom and Freedom of Speech): Manchester and Exeter.
So, I just rolled out two new Right To Know demands because the taxpayers of those Districts should know how their elected and appointed officials (school boards and Superintendents) are spending their tax money.

Pursuant to the Right to Know Law (RSA. 91-A), I am demanding access, within 5 business days, to the below enumerated governmental records. Otherwise, if this cannot be fulfilled within that mandated window per RSA 91-A, please advise when the Responsive Records will be made available.
This request is for the SAU 37/Manchester School District’s total expenditures concerning the recently concluded legal matter in Hillsborough Superior Court on the legal validity of its Policy 100.1 (Transgender and Gender Non-conforming Students) in which Judge Amy Messer ruled in the District’s favor:
- Starting values of all involved General Ledger Accounts (“GL Account lines”), as of the date that funds were first expended, as Defendants concerning its Policy 1001.
Final values of said GL Account lines used for expenditures for this lawsuit plus payments for any remaining outstanding Invoices in this case.
A transaction summary report, for each said GL line, of all transactions types to include (but not limited to):- Transfers into to such a GL line for this purpose
Expenditures from such a GL line for this purpose
Transfers into and out of such a GL Line:- Listing the destination GL line
Description as to why the transfer was desired/needed
Name of the authorizer for that transfer.
Purpose of that transfer
The complete audit transaction trail to or from any legal entities from which advice or services were rendered concerning the lawsuit brought by the Plaintiff concerning Policy 100.1. including (but not limited to):- All Invoices (and other such documents requesting or outlining payments) against those GL Account lines
All payment vouchers, copies of checks, documentation for any type of Electronic Funds Transfers (e.g., ACH, Paypal, et al), or other instruments of payment against those Legal GL linesNote: this Right To Know is not requesting any privileged communications with Counsel – merely the financial transactions with them. Per Hampton Police Ass’n, Inc. v. Town of Hampton, 162 N.H. 7 (2011), these records types (e.g., financial records) are not privileged communications – just financial transactions. If there are any such “privileged notations” associated with these transactions, redacting such notations will cure this issue. Please note that the Court held that billing and payments amounts are not privileged.
Per RSA 91-A:4 IV(c) If you deny any portion of this request, please cite the specific exemption used to justify the denial to make each record, or part thereof, unavailable for inspection along with a brief explanation of how the exemption applies to the information withheld.
As you are aware, in 2016, the New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled that a governmental body in possession of records is required to produce them in electronic media using standard common file formats: Green v. SAU #55, 168 N.H. 796, 801 (2016). Unless there is some reason that it is not reasonably practical to produce such, explain why it is not practical to comply.
Please also note, per RSA 91-A:4 III, III-a, and III-b, you are required to maintain the safety and accessibility of such responsive records whether stored locally or off-site (including a “hosting company”).
Please let me know when these records will be sent to me for inspection. You may email the responsive records to me at Skip@GraniteGrok.com. If the volume turns out to be substantial, I have already set up a Dropbox folder to use in uploading those responsive records.
Thank you for your lawful attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
