Darien Board of Education moves into executive session to review superintendent

At a special meeting, the Board of Education of the Darien School District asked members to return to an executive session "pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes 1-206a" to discuss the superintendent's end-of-year review.

The presiding official opened the formal request by asking for a motion and citing the state statute as the legal basis for a closed-session discussion of personnel matters. The presiding official asked, "May I have a motion to return to executive session pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes 1-206a for purposes of discussing superintendent's end of year review." The remark invoked the statutory authority used by many Connecticut boards for personnel deliberations.

A speaker identified "Farrow" in connection with the motion and indicated the motion was seconded. The provided transcript excerpt does not record a roll-call vote, a tally, or any further public discussion; it also includes a prior public comment ending immediately before the call to order.

The meeting record excerpted here does not contain additional detail about the review's substance, any vote totals, or subsequent public actions. The motion in the excerpt invoked Conn. Gen. Stat. §1-206a and identified Farrow as the mover; the second was announced but not named in the excerpt. No further decisions or outcomes are recorded in the provided segments.
