Teacher union invites board and public to new-teacher breakfast Aug. 4 and school-board candidate forum Sept. 15

Kathleen Bryant, identified herself as "DNEA president," told trustees the local teachers'union will host two upcoming events and invited board members to attend.
Bryant said the new-teacher breakfast is planned for Aug. 4 at 8 a.m. at Derby North Middle School and noted the union organizes the event with district administration to welcome new staff. She also announced a DNEA-hosted school-board candidate forum on Sept. 15 at 6:30 p.m. in the boardroom and said attendees would receive a formal invitation; she said Andy McFadden will emcee the candidate event.
Why this matters: the new-teacher breakfast is a customary orientation for new staff and the candidate forum is a public opportunity to hear from people running for the school board ahead of the November election.
Bryant closed by asking trustees to consider attending; no board action was required.
