The board convened for a residency hearing regarding a student matter. Following an executive session to discuss the confidential case, the board determined that the student does not reside in the Town of Cheshire and is therefore ineligible for school accommodations funded by the Southington Board of Education. The Chairperson was authorized to issue a formal written decision reflecting this determination.
