2026.11.09 Regular BOE Meeting

The Thomaston Board of Education’s regular meeting, titled November 9, 2026 (meeting metadata lists November 10), included a review of the FY2027 budget. The district said it is monitoring salaries, transportation, special education tuition, and contracted and property services while projections are refined. It reported approval of Smart Start grant funding to offset pre-K program costs. Board members supported seeking state technical assistance for back-office operations; no spending authorization or procurement action was taken on that request. The possibility of early-release days near the end of the school year to reduce costs was discussed, with further consideration deferred to a future agenda.

The board approved, by vote, the drama club’s April 28, 2027, New York City trip to see The Lost Boys. It also approved the consent agenda, whose contents were not specified in the transcript. No contract awards, RFPs, vendor selections, or bid approvals were identified.
