Members of the Killingly community are encouraged to share their thoughts with the Board of Education and are invited to do so during this segment of the meeting. When appropriate to do so, members of the Board and the administration may respond to comments. However, in consideration of those in attendance and in an effort to proceed in a timely manner, follow-up discussion may need to take place outside of the meeting setting.

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.

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.

At the September 12 Board meeting,  the Board asked that "alternate language" be determined in the policy. The policy sub-committee members met on Oct. 17 and followed through with this request.
