Terms Used In New Hampshire Revised Statutes 195-A:6

  • Area school: shall mean an authorized regional enrollment area school, which may be elementary or secondary, and which when approved as hereinafter provided, shall be the assigned school for all the resident elementary or secondary pupils of the school districts or portions thereof within the region which it is established to serve. See New Hampshire Revised Statutes 195-A:1
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • Receiving district: shall mean a school district in which an area school is located. See New Hampshire Revised Statutes 195-A:1
The legal title to, and administration of, an area school building, land and equipment, shall be vested in the receiving district, but it shall hold such property in trust for the benefit of all the school districts in the authorized regional enrollment area, as their respective equitable interests therein may appear.
