Board Of Education Meeting - January 13, 2026

The Wethersfield Board of Education held a meeting on January 13, 2026, which included significant procurement-related discussions focused on the selection of an architectural firm for a major school building project. The advisory school building committee presented their unanimous recommendation to hire TSKP as the architect for the renovation and new construction of the highest and Charles Wright schools. The committee evaluated three firms—TSKP, Tecton, and Antonazi—considering factors such as fee proposals, experience with similar projects, adherence to budget and schedule, and community engagement. TSKP was selected due to their relevant experience, understanding of the project, and a fee proposal deemed more accurate and predictable despite being higher than the lowest bidder. The board voted to accept this recommendation. Additionally, the meeting included updates on afterschool programming enrollment and a presentation on district operational benchmarks to inform upcoming budget discussions, but no other procurement actions were noted.
