# Board of Education - Public Session - 7/28/2026

The Connetquot Board of Education held a public session on July 28, 2026, during which they addressed several procurement and budget-related matters. Key procurement discussions included approval of a contract award to Bearcom for antenna repeater installation at three locations and a service agreement with Global Compliance Network for mandatory employee training modules at a cost of approximately $1,852 for the entire district. Board members debated the merits of this training contract versus in-house options, considering cost, timing, and training content. Multiple budget transfer requests were voted on individually, with some passing and others failing due to abstentions or opposition. The board also discussed capital improvement considerations related to playground surface upgrades, noting the potential for future capital projects. Additionally, updates were provided on state foundation aid funding, veterans tax exemptions, and the budget advisory committee's formation. The meeting included public comments on educational outcomes and financial oversight. No final hiring decisions were made, but the district is actively seeking a new financial officer.
