The Waterbury Board of Education held a regular meeting on June 18, 2026, where several procurement and contract-related items were discussed and approved. Key actions included approval of multiple memorandums of understanding with community organizations, authorization for the commencement of construction on rooftop solar photovoltaic projects at several schools, and approval of a professional services agreement with Connecticut Junior Republic Association Inc. for school-based programs.
