Waterbury Board votes to terminate non‑tenured teacher Philip Hughes
Summary
After an executive session, the Waterbury Board of Education approved a motion to terminate the employment contract of non‑tenured teacher Philip Hughes, citing the superintendent's recommendation and referencing Connecticut General Statutes §10‑151; the motion carried.
After returning from an executive session called to discuss the dismissal of a public officer or employee, the Waterbury Board of Education voted to terminate the employment contract of non‑tenured teacher Philip Hughes, effective immediately.
A commissioner moved that "effective immediately, the Waterbury Board of Education terminate the employment contract of non‑tenured teacher Philip Hughes pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes §10‑151, as recommended by the Superintendent of Schools." The motion was seconded and the board voted; the motion carried. The meeting record states the motion carried but does not list a roll‑call tally in the public transcript excerpt.
The board announced that no votes were taken during executive session and that the record would reflect actions taken in open session. The superintendent’s recommendation to terminate was recorded in the motion. The transcript does not include further explanation of the grounds for termination or an explicit vote count in the public record; those details would typically be reflected in personnel files or subsequent formal minutes if required by statute or board policy.
The board immediately continued with routine filings and committee reports following the action.
