BOE Regular Meeting 03/25/2026

The Shelton Public Schools Board of Education held a regular meeting on March 25, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included updates on capital improvement projects such as the approval of a contract amount for a new turf field by the Board of Aldermen, and an upcoming bid process for a new scoreboard with five bidders participating in a job walk-through. The board also discussed utilizing state DRIP funds to upgrade the Shelton band area to be ADA compliant. It was noted that projects exceeding $7,500 require a formal bid process coordinated with the City of Shelton. Additionally, the board reviewed the district's healthcare expenditures and insurance renewal costs, projecting a budget overage. The mayor's budget proposal of a 0% increase was a significant concern, with board members emphasizing the potential negative impact on staffing and programs. No new contracts were awarded during the meeting, but several upcoming procurement activities and budgetary challenges were highlighted.
