At the start of the Sept. 2 meeting, Board President Barbara McDonald announced that Mr. Escobadas had submitted his resignation from the New Britain Board of Education to pursue other opportunities and because of a schedule conflict with his superintendent certification classes.
Nut graf: The board expressed appreciation for Mr. Escobadas's service and wished him well. The board later entered executive session twice for personnel and contractual matters and invited legal counsel.

Votes to enter executive session were taken by voice and recorded as approved; no content of the executive sessions was disclosed in open meeting.
