Summary
After an executive session, the New London Board of Education voted 6–0 to not renew the contract of non‑tenured teacher Patrick Colquhoun and directed the superintendent to notify him in writing.
The New London Board of Education voted 6–0 on May 12 to not renew the contract of non‑tenured teacher Patrick Colquhoun for the 2025–26 school year. President Elaine Maynard‑Adams moved the action, and Susan Hambey seconded the motion; the board adopted it after returning from executive session.
The item was first identified for discussion when the board moved into executive session to consider a recommendation of non‑renewal and proposed early retirement incentives. Board members invited Superintendent Cynthia Ritchie, Executive Director of Talent and Human Resources Christine Pemberton and Chief Financial Officer Rob Funk into the executive session; the board recorded that no votes were taken while in executive session.
Following the closed session, the board approved the non‑renewal motion and directed the superintendent to advise the affected employee in writing. The transcript records the motion and the 6–0 roll‑call outcome but does not include details of the recommendation or the board’s deliberations about the personnel matter.
