New state reporting requirement: Weston submits annual partnerships and attrition report; attrition 9.4%

Julie (surname not specified in the transcript) told the board Sept. 15 that a new statutory requirement effective July 1 requires districts to report annually between June 1 and Sept. 30 on community partnerships, workforce development programs and attrition data. Weston submitted the report in fulfillment of that requirement. Julie said the report lists formal contracts with partners; the only formal contract included was the memorandum of understanding with the Weston Police Department for school‑safety enforcement. She also highlighted informal partners that support programs across the district, including Weston Youth Services, the Senior Center, Le Chateau Farm, Weston Library and the Historical Society. On workforce development, Julie said over 100 partners support Weston High School’s senior internship program. On attrition, the report shows 36 separations between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025, representing a 9.4% attrition rate; the data were disaggregated by position and school for certified and non‑certified staff. Julie said the district is well‑staffed at present but listed a few open positions: a certified French teacher, a paraeducator in the early learning center and an accounting manager in the finance department. The board voted to approve the annual report as presented.
