The Stratford Board of Education meeting held on December 16, 2024, focused on several key topics, including community contributions and educational support initiatives.

The meeting began with a significant announcement regarding the dissolution of a long-standing community organization after 34 years. As part of this transition, over $10,000 will be donated to various non-profits and schools. The remaining funds will support the local rotary, which aims to continue providing high school scholarships and post-prom awards.

During the meeting, checks were presented to support educational initiatives. A $1,000 check was allocated for continuing education scholarships, addressing the lack of funding for such programs. Additionally, $500 was designated for unified sports, promoting inclusivity in school athletics.

Jack Delviano was also recognized during the meeting, receiving checks for the post-prom event and a $500 scholarship for the Straffy Community Fund, which will continue to support students annually.

The meeting then transitioned to discussions led by Miss Doria, focusing on teaching and learning initiatives within the district.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the community's commitment to supporting education and student development, with plans for continued financial contributions to enhance local programs. Further discussions on teaching strategies and educational improvements are expected in future meetings.
