After tabling a vote in October, the Amity Board of Education took action on Nov. 14 to formally end the Amity Continuing Education Program due to declining enrollment, decreasing revenues, and lack of a program director. The board waited for a month prior to making this decision to hear from the public. No comments against discontinuation of the program were received.
The district will continue to partner with Hamden Public Schools to offer adult education and English language learner opportunities. Any funds remaining in the Continuing Education Account will be transferred to the Drama Account for purchase of items that will support the creative theater, musical, choral, band and whole-school programs.
