Personnel actions: the board voted to offer administrator contracts for the 2024–25 school year for a list of named administrators; it accepted certified staff resignations effective at the end of the 2023–24 school year and approved summer school administrators for the 2024 session. The board also approved offering teaching contracts for several candidates at Southeast Schools for 2024–25.

Procurement and contracts: trustees approved a contract renewal with Frontline Education for the absence and time solution for $24,158.94; approved purchasing 430 replacement computers and 42 docking stations from Dell Technologies for $213,907.63 (funded by the technology fund via NASPO); approved a $12,829.41 purchase of kitchen equipment for Torrington High School through the Perkins fund; authorized contracting with Power Products for skylight replacement at Southeast Schools for $113,585 funded by insurance and major maintenance; and approved a $16,347.80 dishwasher purchase for Southeast Schools.

Policy and first readings: the board approved multiple district policy revisions on first reading, including updates to tobacco/smoking policy, unpaid meal debt policy, procurement standards for federal funds, student withdrawal procedures, and purchasing policy.

Vote outcomes: each item was approved by a voice vote recorded in the transcript as "Item carries" or an equivalent statement. The board did not record roll‑call tallies in the public transcript for these routine approvals.

Next steps: administrators will finalize contracts and purchase orders and return any required documentation to the board or state agencies as appropriate.
