1. Consideration of the Approval of Stipulation in Matter of Freedom of Information Complaint by David LeBlanc Against the Board of Education
It is recommended that the Board approve of the stipulation of matter of Freedom of Information complaint by David LeBlanc against the Board of Education. (See Attachment A.)
2. Consideration of the Approval of Non-Renewal of Contract For Tenure Purposes Substitute Teacher
Under C.G.S. substitute teachers who have served up to or worked more than 90 consecutive days under a long-term substitute contract have to be informed that they should consider that their contract would not automatically be renewed.
It is recommended that the Superintendent be authorized to inform the following substitute teachers that his/her services will not be continued under the tenure laws:
Ms. Alicia Baker
Ms. Marnie J. Ford
Mr. Gamaliel Rosa
This is not any indication of job performance, but only a protection for the district required by law.
3. Consideration of the Approval of Swift Middle School Graduation Date
Because we have used four inclement weather days for closing schools, it would bring the last day of school for the 2008-2009 school year to Wednesday, June 24, 2009. At the Board of Education meeting on November 10, 2008, the Board voted to approve of June 25, 2009, as the date for graduation exercises for the Watertown High School Class of 2009.
It is recommended that the graduation ceremony date for Swift Middle School be Wednesday, June 24, 2009. The time for the graduation ceremony will be announced at a later date.
4. Consideration of the Approval of Single Session Days at the End of the 2008-2009 School Year
It is recommended that single session days be granted for students only at the end of the school year. Due to final exams at the High School, the compilation of credits for graduation, record keeping at all levels, and moving due to the phasing of construction, the following schedule is recommended:
Grades PreK-12 three single session days: June 22, 23, and 24, 2009.
