The East Haven Board of Education meeting on July 22, 2025, focused on several key updates regarding summer programs and new regulations. The meeting began with a brief report from the assistant superintendent, who highlighted the success of the summer Career and Technical Education (CTE) camp for incoming ninth graders. Sixteen students participated, engaging in various activities that fostered community service and skill development. The program, now in its second year, has reportedly helped students form strong friendships and gain valuable insights into CTE courses.

Additionally, the board received an update on the summer literacy enrichment program, known as "summer grama," which serves students in grades K through 5. Progress monitoring indicated that out of 97 students, 45 showed growth towards their reading targets, with 23 already meeting the benchmark for the upcoming school year. This progress is particularly significant in addressing the "summer slide" in literacy skills.

During the meeting, the board also accepted minutes from previous meetings and heard from town liaison Amy Drobacher, who praised the high school transitional academy's participation in the local Farmer's Market. Drobacher noted the academy's impressive progress in managing their shop, contributing positively to the market's success this season.

In new business, the board adopted the Connecticut School Climate Policy regulation, which is a requirement for school districts. The motion was unanimously approved by the board members present. The meeting concluded with discussions regarding the approval of the Family Resource Center grant, which is an annual requirement for the district.

Overall, the meeting underscored the district's commitment to enhancing student engagement and literacy, while also fostering community involvement through local initiatives.
