Merrimack School District

It is not to be confused with the Merrimack Valley School District in Merrimack County, which serves Penacook, Boscawen, Loudon, Webster, and Salisbury.

In the 1995–1996 school year, the district enacted a policy against talking about LGBT issues, called "Prohibition of Alternative Lifestyle Instruction."

This resulted in student protests and discord among Merrimack residents.

[1] The policy affected how teachers at Merrimack High School taught about literary figures; as of May 1996 the school district had not placed measures against teachers related to this policy.
