• Marilynn Kramar, NHHS Mathematics

• Susan Quintiliani, Montowese Elementary School Gr. 4

•  Carmella Paradis, Clintonville Elementary School, Gr. 2

Two other teachers, Clintonville first grade teacher Jackie Tammaro, and High School Spanish teacher Hayden Holt, have also announced their resignations.

Also on the agenda for tonight's meeting will be a review of the budget, approved last month by the Board of Finance, and a discussion of state funding, the amount of which will have a tremendous impact on North Haven's special education outplacement program.

Coaches of spring sports will also be announced and voted on by the Board.

Of special interest will be a report from the newly appointed superintendent, Dr. Robert D. Cronin who replaced interim superintendent Patricia Brozek at the February meeting.

Resident's expressed a desire to speak with Cronin in a public setting at last week's Board of Selectmen meeting. Tonight's public comment session should provide parents and townspeople the opportunity to pose questions and make suggestions to the new superintendent.

North Haven Patch will be covering the meeting in full tonight.
