Board of Education May 18, 2026

The New Canaan Board of Education held a regular meeting on May 18, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions and approvals. The board unanimously approved an overnight field trip for New Canaan High School performing ensembles to participate in the Festival Disney student music competition in Orlando, Florida, scheduled for April 2027. Financial reports were presented, highlighting the district's operating expenses, grant expenditures, and school lunch program revenues, with a current budget balance of approximately 2%. Additionally, the board accepted two donations: $5,271.79 from the Sax PTC for room tags installation and $6,000 from the New Canaan High School PFA for spring beautification efforts prior to graduation. These actions reflect ongoing budget management and community-supported enhancements within the school district.
