The New Hampshire Department of Education Revokes Educator Credentials

CONCORD: The New Hampshire Department of Education announced today that Terri Forsten, the former Superintendent of the Concord school district, voluntarily surrendered her Superintendent and Principal endorsements, resulting in the permanent revocation of those endorsements; and voluntarily surrendered her Special Education Teacher and Elementary Education endorsements, resulting in the suspension of those endorsements through November 5, 2024.

Pursuant to the agreement, Ms. Forsten is prevented from engaging in any type of employment or voluntary work – in a certified or non-certified capacity – by any public school district, non-public school, or charter school. Following the expiration of the period of suspension, Ms. Forsten also agreed to limit her employment to a non-supervisory capacity.

“The department considered the significance of this case, along with mitigating factors in reaching this agreement,” stated Frank Edelblut, Commissioner of Education. “Our hearts are broken for the alleged victims of Howie Leung, and we are reminded of the importance of being vigilant to protect all New Hampshire children.”

A public list of Revoked Educator Credential is attached.
