7.A. Discussion with Possible Approval of 2019 Calendar Year Board Meeting Dates
Rationale:
State Statutes require that a list of Board meetings dates held in the coming calendar year-not fiscal year-be submitted to the Town clerk no later than 30 days before the first meeting, so that she in turn may submit it to the Secretary of State. The Town clerk is bound under State statutes to submit this list usually by December 1. When we develop the 2019-20 calendar this spring, we will list anticipated meeting dates for January through June 2020. Due to the day that Thanksgiving will fall on, (Nov. 28) it is suggested that there be one Board meeting in November.

7.C. CT Association of Public School Superintendents (CAPSS) Student Leadership Awards Ceremony
Speaker(s):
Mr. Steven Rioux
Rationale:
All Board members are invited to help celebrate with us, the annual CAPSS (Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents) Student Award Ceremony on Tuesday, December 4th at 6:30 p.m. at Killingly High School. Superintendents and students representing eleven surrounding towns will also be in attendance. This is a very impressive honor that is awarded to carefully chosen students in Connecticut public schools. The goal in selecting students is to focus on student accomplishments and activities that go far beyond academic success including service and leadership, therefore making them role models for other students. Light refreshments will follow the ceremony. Students have been invited to attend and be recognized at the December 12th Board meeting. |
