March 7, 2018 at 6:30 PM - Regular Board of Education Meeting

Rationale: 

Please note the personnel report as you will find updated employee information reflected in it (resignation of an instructional assistant).

Please take note of the March enrollment report. We have a total of 1281 students enrolled.

The budget edition of the Focus will go out in the mail this month. We are also in the process of presenting our budget to the BOF's in both towns. 

The recently released CSDE 2016-2017 Next Generation Accountability Report highlighted Lyme-Old Lyme High school, Mile Creek and Lyme School as “Schools of Distinction” based on the 12 point accountability matrix used to evaluate school districts and schools.  We are very proud of their achievement.  Congratulations.

At our April meeting, we will have an official vote to set a date for graduation as prescribed in statute. Assuming no more closures beyond the one we have already had, the last day of school will be June 22, 2018.  

The month of March is Connecticut Board of Education Member Appreciation Month. I will take a moment to recognize all of our Board members for their dedicated service to our communities.

Rationale:  Mrs. McCalla will provide a year to date budget status report as well as a contingency fund report.

Rationale:  In lieu of an educational presentation, I will review our current and proposed security measures.
