Board approves 2024–25 and revised 2023–24 calendars; president votes no
Summary
The New London Board of Education approved the proposed SY2024–2025 district calendar and a revised 2023–24 calendar amid brief discussion about picture‑day scheduling and removing a defunct 'Harbor' entry; both votes passed 5‑1 with President Elaine Maynard‑Adams voting no.
The board approved the Proposed SY2024–2025 District Calendar and the Revised SY2023–2024 District Calendar after brief discussion about logistics and calendar content.
Secretary Bryan Doughty moved to approve the proposed 2024–25 calendar; Vice‑President Bianca Alexis‑Sylvain asked whether picture days for full‑district and year‑round students could be scheduled on the same weeks, and staff confirmed that would be possible. President Elaine Maynard‑Adams said she would vote no because she dislikes the calendar; the motion passed 5‑1.
For the revised 2023–24 calendar, Mr. Doughty moved and Ms. Maynard‑Adams seconded approval. Mr. Doughty asked whether the word "Harbor" could be removed from the calendar now that the program no longer exists; staff confirmed that change can be made. That motion likewise passed 5‑1, with Maynard‑Adams voting no.
The board did not change the calendars’ core instructional days at the meeting; specific operational scheduling items (for example, consolidated picture day weeks) were confirmed as feasible by staff and will be arranged administratively.
