NORWICH – Staffing and personnel changes were the focus of discussion at a special meeting of the Norwich City School District’s board of education Wednesday night.

“The board wants to be prepared,” explained School Board President Heather Collier, who said she was asked to call the special session at the behest of more than one member of the board.

The single-item agenda included a presentation by Superintendent Gerard O’Sullivan which provided what Collier described as a “thorough overview” of the district’s current staffing and personnel changes made since mid-May.

“The board asked for three things: A complete list of all department chairs and extracurricular positions; a complete list of all cut positions and those which have been reinstated since we’ve gone through the budget process; and a complete list of transfers in staff made in the last few months,” O’Sullivan explained.
