Final days of the school year

I hope this message finds you and your family well. It was with a very heavy heart that I informed the community that Governor Lamont announced to the State of Connecticut on May 5, 2020, that all public schools will remain closed through the end of the school year.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire community for welcoming me with open arms to this incredible town. I truly feel fortunate and proud to serve as your Superintendent of Schools. From my first day riding the bus with students, to presenting the Plus One Budget to the Board of Education, each moment positively reflects the Granby culture.

District considers changing school start times

Last year the district established a community School Start Times Taskforce to study the impact of different school start times on students’ wellness and academic performance and to assess the feasibility of implementing new start times for all Granby schools.

Crafting the FY20 budget
|
On March 6, I will present the FY20 Administrative Budget to the Board of Education. The budget is a spending plan that is responsive to the needs of the district, a Board of Finance budget guideline of 4 percent, a huge State budget deficit, and a proposed Governor’s budget that reduces $254K in State educational funding to Granby.
Over the years, in response to the significant economic challenges, the district has taken steps to reduce its budget by realizing line-item efficiencies and closing a school.
