Following a closed executive session on pending litigation, the New London Board of Education voted to approve a negotiated settlement in an administrator matter and authorized Superintendent Dr. Cynthia Ritchie to sign the agreement.
The board first moved into executive session at 8:05 p.m. pursuant to Connecticut statute for attorney‑client communications regarding pending litigation; the record states the session included the full board, Superintendent Cynthia Ritchie and Christine Pemberton, Executive Director of Talent and Human Resources. The board exited executive session at 8:47 p.m.; the minutes state no votes were taken while in executive session.
After the board reconvened, President Elaine Maynard‑Adams moved, and Danni Cruz seconded, a motion "that the Board approve a negotiated settlement in the matter of an administrator, and authorize the Superintendent to sign said settlement agreement." The motion carried 7‑0.
The minutes do not provide the settlement’s terms or additional details; the action is recorded only as an approved negotiated settlement with authorization for the superintendent to execute the agreement.
Next steps: the minutes record the approval and authorization to sign; no further details or publicly stated timelines for disclosure were provided in the meeting record.
