Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff issued the following statement in response to the Norwalk Board of Education announcement released tonight.
“Looks like we can finally move forward.
“I am satisfied by this statement that the BOE will honor the original agreement from their Tuesday evening caucus when they unanimously accepted the terms/conditions Mayor Rilling and I set forth Tuesday morning in our meeting with the Superintendent.
“To be clear, we never said the BOE could not vote on the Superintendent’s contract if that’s what is legally required. However, it’s not legally required since the Superintendent per her contract, can waive that provision. If she refuses to do so and a vote occurs, I’ve been assured an extension will fail.
“It’s important that all of us move forward now as a community in the best interests of the students, staff and parents.
“In the final analysis, transparency, community voices and common sense won the day.
“Thank you to all who stood by us during this challenging time.”
