WELCOME

The Granby Board of Education (BOE) is composed of seven members elected for four-year terms by the registered voters of the Town of Granby. The Board is responsible both to the local community and to state government to maintain "good public elementary and secondary schools" and to "implement the educational interests of the State” as defined in Section 10-4a of the Connecticut General Statutes.

Notice of all meetings is posted in the Town Clerk's office in the Town Hall and in all the schools at least forty-eight hours prior to the meeting time. Meetings are open to the public. An agenda is prepared prior to the posting of the meeting. If you would like to propose an item for the agenda, please speak with the Superintendent of Schools or BOE Chairperson at least one week prior to the meeting.
