The Danbury Board of Education voted to approve a continuation‑of‑services application to the Connecticut State Department of Education for the district’s family resource center program.

Why it matters: Continuation of services approvals with the state allow designated family resource centers to keep receiving state funds and support that connect families to school and community services.

Action taken: A motion to approve the application was made by Teresa and seconded by Kate. The motion as read into the record stated: “Motion that the Board of Education approve the application to the Connecticut State Department of Education for the continuation of services at North Street Family Resource Center in accordance with 25‑1‑118.” The chair called for the vote; the record states the vote as “All in favor … Aye. Opposed? Motion is so carried.” No roll‑call vote or individual yea/nay names were recorded in the transcript.

Discrepancy noted: The agenda listed the item as “Moore Street Family Resource Center. Continuation of services application,” while the motion read aloud referenced “North Street Family Resource Center.” The transcript records both names; the board record did not resolve the naming discrepancy on the record at the meeting.

Discussion vs. decision: The board took a formal vote approving the application (motion made, seconded and carried). The transcript does not show additional discussion or conditions attached to the approval.

What to watch: Confirm which facility (Moore Street or North Street) is the subject of the state application and check the subsequent submission to the Connecticut State Department of Education for the correct facility name.
