Darien school board approves $1.9 million capital budget for fiscal 2027

At a reconvened special meeting, the Darien School District board of education approved a $1,915,550 capital budget for fiscal year 2027.

Unidentified Speaker asked for the motion and stated, "May I have a motion to approve a capital budget of $1,915,550." The motion was moved by Joanna (board member) and seconded by Sarah (board member); the transcript records the vote as unanimous and a speaker later said, "That's unanimous," but individual roll-call votes and a spending breakdown were not recorded in the transcript.

The vote follows a brief procedural reconvening earlier in the session, when the same presiding voice asked to reconvene the special meeting; Sarah moved to reconvene and Greg seconded, and that motion was also recorded as unanimous. The transcript contains no further detail on how the approved capital funds will be allocated or which projects the budget will support.

The meeting included a congratulatory comment directed at Doctor Byrne; the transcript does not provide context for the congratulations. At the end of the available transcript, an unidentified speaker asked for a motion to adjourn but no motion, second, or vote on adjournment was recorded.

The transcript does not specify the meeting date, the names or titles beyond first names for several participants, or an itemized roll call. The board’s approval was stated on the record as unanimous, and the amount approved is $1,915,550 for fiscal year 2027.
