Summary
After an executive session to discuss a pending 2021 matter before the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities, the board returned and unanimously approved a proposed $10,000 settlement and authorized Chair Leslie Sarich to sign the agreement pending legal review.
The New Milford Board of Education entered executive session at 7:26 p.m. on March 17 to discuss a pending 2021 matter before the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities; Superintendent Janet Parlato was invited into the session.
After returning at 7:38 p.m., the board voted unanimously to approve a proposed $10,000 settlement in the matter and authorized Board Chair Leslie Sarich to sign the settlement agreement subject to any necessary legal review.
