The Darien Public Schools Board of Education held its regular meeting on June 9, 2026. The meeting included presentations recognizing retiring staff and outstanding students receiving superintendent awards. A significant portion of the meeting focused on updates to the district's five-year technology plan, highlighting shifts in student device usage models, cybersecurity measures, and communication platform transitions. The board discussed the plan's goals related to teaching, infrastructure, and data security, with attention to resource needs for implementation. Additionally, the board approved several labor union contract agreements for instructional aides, campus monitors, secretaries, and registered nurses covering July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029. The consent agenda included approval of field trips, grant funds, committee reports, and personnel changes, including adjustments to teaching staff based on enrollment trends. No new procurement contracts or capital projects were discussed, but the technology plan and union contracts represent key budget and operational decisions affecting future procurement and staffing.
