October 4, 2017 at 6:30 PM - Regular Board of Education Meeting

Rationale: 

Our 2017-2018 Teacher of the Year, Patty Cournoyer, and our Non-Certified Staff Member of the Year, Eileen Griswold, will be recognized by the Board.

 

Rationale: 

Please note the personnel report as you will find updated employee information reflected in it.  

Please take note of the enrollment report as we have had some changes in enrollment. In-house enrollment is now 1269. I have requested updated enrollment projections from both NESDEC and Peter Prowda. This new information will be examined as it relates to our official enrollment count of October 1. In addition, our October 2017 enrollment report indicates that 79.8% of our students are from Old Lyme, while 20.2% of our students are from Lyme. This is a similar percentage to what we saw last October when 20.7% were from Lyme and 79.3% were from Old Lyme.  Our billings to the towns are based on an average of the October 1 and April 1 student counts. 

We have applied for a school security grant through the state of Connecticut. If approved, we may get reimbursed in the range of $80,000-$90,000 for security upgrades completed since 2012.

As a reminder, if you have not done so already, please contact Jeanne to sign up for the annual CABE-CAPSS convention on November 17-18, 2017.
