Board of Education Cancels Meeting, will move to Thirteen Month Calendar
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The first New Haven Board of Education meeting on January 13, 2020 will be cancelled. Under the Freedom of Information Act, notice must be filed thirty days in advance of a regular meeting. The meeting on January 13th would be deemed a special meeting; therefore, some of the planned agenda could not be accomplished.
New Haven Public Schools Chief Operating Officer Michael Pinto released the following statement:
“In order to appropriately conduct all the business planned for the January 13th meeting, we must have a regular meeting. Unfortunately, our 2020 Board of Education calendar was released on December 23rd, the January 13th meeting would then be deemed a special meeting, and some decisions made in that meeting would potentially violate our bylaws. In order to correct this for future meetings, the Board of Education will move to adopt a thirteen-month calendar to give enough notice in the new calendar year to conduct business according to our bylaws.”
The next regular Board of Education meeting is scheduled for January 27, 2020.
