Policy committee seeks clearer communication about district budget process
Summary
Committee members discussed ways to better advertise the New London School District budget process, including using social media and ParentSquare and providing clearer guidance on when the public may speak during budget meetings.
On Feb. 11, 2026, members of the New London Board of Education Policy Committee discussed improving public outreach around the district budget process. Kristea A. Francolino, Manager of Executive Support Services, said the meeting schedule is shared on social media and can also be shared via ParentSquare; members agreed to develop more robust communications explaining the process and when members of the public may speak.
Committee members emphasized that clearer information about the process would help residents understand when and how to participate in budget hearings. The committee did not adopt a formal communications plan at this meeting but directed staff to prepare more detailed outreach materials and timing guidance for future meetings.
