The Cromwell Board of Education voted to approve an agreement between the district and the Education Association of Cromwell that will run from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029. The motion was moved by Donna Maddie and seconded by Matt; a speaker recorded, "The motion passes." The meeting transcript does not include a roll-call vote tally or individual votes.
Board members made the approval at the start of the public meeting immediately after emerging from executive session.

No formal amendments or conditions to the agreement were noted in the public discussion that preceded the motion.
The action was described on the floor as a standard approval of a negotiated agreement; the transcript contains no additional details about contract terms such as salary schedules, monetary value, or changes in working conditions. Those specifics were not stated in the public record provided.
The board then moved on to a governance training presented by the district's attorney. The training covered board responsibilities, FOIA, confidentiality and executive-session rules and will be the subject of a separate discussion at upcoming committee meetings. The transcript did not identify a next-step timeline for publishing contract documents or providing member-level vote tallies to the public.
