School board shakes it up: Group changes roles, welcomes newcomer

The Board of Education bid farewell Monday to one of its veteran members, welcomed newly-elected Republican Mary Kelly Freiberg and nominated members to fill the roles of chairman, vice chairman and secretary.

“This is my last official act in my current term as first selectman,” said the town’s executive leader Jeb Walker as he asked for nominations for the three positions.

In a move which will bring cheers from the football community in all corners of the State, the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) yesterday announced that it will adopt a new division and playoff structure for football next season.

The CIAC board of control adopted the new format in a unanimous vote on Thursday. The new format will increase the number of qualifiers from 24 to 32, while decreasing the number of divisions from six to four. Thus, eight teams from each division will qualify.
