New Milford Board approves memorandum on administrator overpayment after executive session
Summary
After an executive session on July 15, 2025 the New Milford Board of Education approved a memorandum of understanding with the New Milford School Administrators Association addressing an administrator overpayment in a 6-2 vote; Chair Leslie Sarich said she opposed the action.
The New Milford Board of Education voted 6-2 on July 15, 2025 to approve a memorandum of understanding with the New Milford School Administrators Association that addresses a reported administrator overpayment. The Board met in executive session to consider the matter and returned to public session before taking the vote.
Board Chair Mrs. Leslie Sarich called the executive session at 7:49 p.m.; the Board invited Superintendent Dr. Janet Parlato, Director of Human Services Mrs. Teresa Kavanagh and Director of Fiscal Services Mr. Anthony Giovannone into the executive session. The Board returned to public session at 8:30 p.m., and Mrs. Tammy McInerney moved to approve the proposed memorandum of understanding; Mr. Eric Hansell seconded. The motion passed 6-2-0.
Mrs. Sarich said she would vote no because she did not feel the overpayment was the fault of the individual involved. No additional disciplinary outcomes were recorded in the minutes. The minutes do not specify the dollar amount of the overpayment or the detailed terms of the agreement; those specifics were not included in the public minutes.
The vote followed the Board's executive-session discussion; the record shows invited participants but does not include public presentation of the MOU terms at the meeting. The Board adjourned at 8:31 p.m.
