Waterbury Board of Education Meeting - May 14, 2026

The Waterbury Board of Education held a meeting on May 14, 2026, primarily focused on educational leadership appointments and facility use approvals. The board approved the appointments of new principals for several schools, including North End Middle School, Rotella Interdistrict Magnet School, and Wendell Cross Pre-K-8 School, all following retirements. Additionally, the board reviewed and approved multiple contracts and professional service agreements related to educational and operational services, such as voice over IP maintenance, copier services, translation services, online learning systems, engineering on-call services, fire alarm transmitter services, and various therapy and behavioral analyst services. The board also discussed and voted on custodial fee waiver requests for community organizations using school facilities, with some waivers approved and others denied based on considerations of timing, usage, and financial impact. Policy discussions included ensuring proper approval processes for facility use and fee waivers going forward. No capital improvement projects or large procurement contracts were detailed beyond the professional service agreements. The meeting concluded with an executive session concerning the superintendent's evaluation.
