Weather be darned, the Brookfield Board of Education will go forward with its business tonight.
At 5:30 p.m., the board will be interviewing candidates to fill a school board vacancy and then at 7 p.m. the board will conduct its regular session in the Brookfield High School library. The meeting, however, will not be televised for home viewers.
On the agenda is further talk about the town audit, and the school district’s response to handling that matter. At the end of the meeting is scheduled a fourth closed-door session to discuss the performance of Schools Superintendent Tony Bivona and Director of Finance, Technology and Operations Art Colley. Those sessions have been directly connected to the audit concerns related to overspending of $1.175 million over the course of the last two years. School board leaders have met with town officials, including First Selectman Bill Tinsley and Board of Finance Chairman Phil Kurtz, to discuss how to not only remedy the overspending but accountability for the errors and how to assure that this does not occur again in the future.
