Board approves early dismissal for Stanton Elementary and adopts revised educator evaluation plans
Summary
The board voted to approve an early-dismissal day for Stanton Elementary on June 15 to facilitate building decommissioning and unanimously approved revised educator and leader evaluation plans (with a minor typo to be corrected).
The Norwich Board of Education took two formal actions during its business session.
Early dismissal: The board voted to approve June 15 as an early dismissal day for Stanton Elementary so staff can pack classrooms ahead of scheduled building work. The motion was made, seconded and passed by voice vote. No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript; the chair called "All in favor, say I" and the motion carried.
Educator and leader evaluations: The board also approved revisions to the district’s teacher and leader evaluation plans. Acting Assistant Superintendent Jamie Bender said the changes are technical refinements to the existing system and adjustments to tiered supports developed by the professional development evaluation committee; the plans must be submitted to the State Department of Education. One board member noted a duplication/typo in the tier-four corrective action plan language and the board approved the documents with that edit to be made.
Why it matters: The early-dismissal vote supports the logistics of school construction or decommissioning work at Stanton; approval of the evaluation plans is a required step before the documents are filed with the state.
