The Office of the First Selectman is accepting resumes of any electors of the Town of Litchfield who are interested in serving on the Region#20 Board of Education. The Board of Selectmen will hold a Special BOS meeting on July 12th to warn the Town Meeting and sign the call. At the Special Town Meeting, which we anticipate will be at the Litchfield FireHouse on July 20th at 7pm, all interested candidates must be nominated and voted on at the Town Meeting, the legislative body of the Town.
Litchfield will choose 3 members for the 12 member Region#20 Board of Education. Please note that we are unaware of any statutory restriction that would not allow a current member of the Litchfield BOE to serve concurrently on the Region#20 BOE. There is no Political Party requirement of any new members, however, you must be a registered voter.
We will accept candidate resumes until July 18th by either hand delivery or email to 1stselectman@townoflitchfield.org. Copies of the submitted resumes will be made available prior to the Town Meeting in the Office of the First Selectman, so that the public can be informed prior to the Town Meeting.
Interested candidates, that have not submitted resumes, will still have equal opportunity to be nominated from the floor at the Town Meeting.
If you have any questions, please call the First Selectman's Office or email me directly
