My niece says that people fleeing New York have decided to take up residence in their ski condos that they own in New Hampshire or Vermont, at least until the virus is under control.
They plan to enroll their kids in the local school systems, in some cases overwhelming them. She specifically mentioned Waterville Valley and vicinity.

Anyone else heard of this?
Yes,but I live too far north for it to effect me..They own and pay taxes,guess they can. I agree will overwhelm the system . Thats what a town gets for selling its soul to developers.
Most of the Condos are small 1000 sq. ft.folks will get tired of it after a couple of months and if they last through the boredom, 5 months of with dark green evergreen trees and lots of gray sky's , and daily unrelenting snow they will leave.
Or in the alternative scenario, it will last until enough of them bring the virus with them and realize they can get sick here too but healthcare is a lot less accessible. I'd be more worried about them overwhelming PCP's and small hospitals than about the school situation.
We are going to see a large influx of out-of-staters. Two trends have already been present for years now: 1.) tax payers fleeing high tax/high regulation states, for low tax/low regulation states, and 2.) an urban flight where U.S. citizens have been leaving dense metro areas for suburbia or rural areas. Being that it's the 5th lowest tax state and mostly rural, NH was already a beneficiary of these two trends. With the plandemic and civil unrest in the big cities, people have realized that the city is not the place to be when SHTF, so they are wanting to move to places like NH even more now.

I think these condos are more of a temporary landing spot while decisions are being made. Nevertheless, if you have a town of 300 people and they gain 40+ new school kids all at once it's a big problem.
Yes, very much so. A moderator should be the person making decisions based around facts not a narrative and creating a thread that starts with their nieces thoughts rather then a actual facts. Maybe find out facts and then go from there rather then assuming and asking a question based on a family members thoughts.

Realtors may be beneficiaries. Other taxpayers and senior citizens who see their school taxes escalating are victims, as well as residents who value privacy, forests, and wildlife. I've read many, many posts from people about how much they love NH, followed by comments supporting population growth and development. If they really like being around more people, housing developments, and higher tax bills, why did they move here in the first place?
