At the July 12, 2023 Board of Education meeting the board reported that the memorandum of understanding it had drafted, at a selectman's request, had been rejected -- not by a vote or a letter, but by the town administrator speaking at a planning and zoning meeting: "Eric Anderson said the town will not sign the MOU that we presented" (~37:52). A board member noted that three selectmen, including the First Selectman, were present at that meeting and none contradicted him (~38:10). The board had received no formal response from the Board of Selectmen to a document that board had asked it to produce, and voted to seek one in writing (~40:38). The board chair also reported that he had raised the town administrator's conduct with the First Selectman, who acknowledged it was not correct and said he would speak to him (~43:52), and that the First Selectman had invited him to the groundbreaking (~46:40).
