NEWFIELDS — SAU 3 Superintendent Julie King, who has had to contend with the difficulties of providing remote schooling for all students in the Berlin Public Schools during her first year in the top slot, was one of four panelists selected by U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan to discuss how essential access to high-speed internet has become.
Hassan hosted an hourlong virtual roundtable on Thursday, May 28, from her office in the basement of her Rockingham County home.
