Maria Pompeano introduced the updates and noted Sea Scouts continued this year despite losing an adviser; Mr. O’Shaughna (the remaining adviser) has resumed oversight. Students took submersible-robot kits to the University of Bridgeport to test obstacle courses and staff said the program will receive additional kits for future student participation. The Sea Scouts also completed CPR and first-aid training over three after‑school days; athletic staff and the trainer delivered the instruction and students received email confirmation of certification.

On QUADS, administrators said the program targets ninth graders and pairs students with Quinnipiac mentors and faculty to develop place‑based projects that explore community needs. Presenters described activities: students created “self symbols,” built community asset trees, gathered family oral histories and worked with university mentors in half‑day sessions. Two students, Allison and another ninth-grade participant, briefly described their experiences, saying the program helped them learn about themselves and East Haven, work with peers they had not known before and prepare toward a collective project the cohort will select and develop during the school year.

Staff said QUADS offers potential recognition from Quinnipiac and East Haven High School if students complete the three‑year sequence; the program could count toward a capstone or graduation requirement in future years. Trustees thanked the students and asked that the board be updated once the cohort selects its community project.

A motion to approve the trip was made and seconded; the board adopted the request by roll-call vote. Trustees asked several logistical questions during the discussion, including the per‑person price, ticket cost versus transportation, whether chaperones pay and options to support students who cannot afford the trip.

Meeting materials and staff discussion showed the per‑student package price listed as $170. Trustees noted the ticket component is about $110 and that the remaining cost covers transportation and other items; staff recorded the coach‑bus cost at $3,675. Board members asked whether group or discounted ticketing applied and whether the district or private donors could assist students who could not afford the fee. A trustee offered to sponsor a student and asked staff about rules for anonymous donations; staff said they would follow up to confirm what is permitted.

Trustees also discussed timing and travel logistics: the trip would be an approximately 12‑hour round trip with planned stops (lunch, Bryant Park or other outdoor areas) before the performance and return travel afterward. Staff said chaperone arrangements and exact payment responsibilities would be confirmed and reported back if needed.

The motion passed by roll call and was announced as carried.","The board approved an out‑of‑state field trip for East Haven High School students to attend a Broadway performance of Juliet at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre on April 23, 2025.

Board members and facilities staff said the revision aligns rental fees with comparable venues and helps generate revenue for ongoing equipment and maintenance upgrades. Officials cited recent investments at James Morris Middle School (JMMS) — including a roughly $250,000 overhaul of stage lighting and sound — when explaining why the district kept higher auditorium rates while reducing some peripheral fees.

Staff described comparing the district’s facilities to nearby towns and adjusting prices “based on what we found from those comparables,” noting some neighboring auditoriums are larger and some smaller than East Haven High School’s auditorium. The board heard that since last September the district has hosted about 43 events and had another 38 events scheduled from January through the summer, producing most revenue from rental fees rather than staffing charges.

Discussion focused on whether increases — including a proposed $75-per-hour uplift for the auditorium — would price out smaller, recurring local users. Trustees asked staff about the practical impact on community recitals and nonprofit groups. Staff said the largest commercial rental the district has handled is about $60,000 and that the proposed increase would raise that by roughly $4,500; for typical smaller local recitals the change would be in the $400–$500 range.

Board members stressed flexibility for long-standing users and nonprofit organizations. Staff said the district will notify existing multi‑day or out‑of‑state events of price changes when those groups next book and that long‑time customers may request rate reductions. Trustees also noted that higher fees help the district fund wear-and-tear repairs and equipment replacement — for example, a single lighting module recently purchased cost about $17,000.

After discussion, a trustee moved to approve the revision to Policy 1330 and a second was recorded. Roll-call voting showed six affirmative votes; the motion carried.

The board indicated the changes will take effect for new bookings and that the district can revisit the schedule if future demand falls. Staff said adjustments can be made later if needed and recommended placing more detailed pricing or implementation items on a workshop agenda if trustees wanted additional review.","The East Haven School District Board of Education voted to approve a revision to Policy 1330 (Use of School Facilities) after members and staff debated updates to facility rental pricing, nonprofit reductions and how price changes would affect recurring users.","actionData","errors"]
