August 17, 2026 Board of Education Special Meeting

The Greenwich Public Schools Board of Education held a special meeting on August 17, 2026, primarily to discuss and establish a transparent, policy-compliant process for filling two board vacancies. The vacancies arose due to resignations, and the board aimed to appoint new members by early September to participate in the upcoming school year. Key procurement-related discussions focused on setting application deadlines, candidate screening guidelines emphasizing relevant professional expertise and daytime availability, and scheduling interviews. The board agreed on a target application deadline of August 24, 2026, with candidate shortlisting and interviews planned for the following week, and a final appointment vote by September 2, 2026. The meeting concluded with a unanimous vote to adopt this process, ensuring fairness, transparency, and compliance with board policies and state regulations.
