Longer-form draft.
During the March 24 Board of Education meeting, the Board addressed a formal grievance filed by the Stamford Education Association (SEA) regarding the use of electronic gradebooks. The SEA argues that the district is violating a 2014 Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) by requiring teachers to enter math assessment data into a district-created spreadsheet. According to union representatives, this creates a 'dual entry' burden—where teachers must maintain their own professional gradebooks while also being forced to input the same data into a district tool, which they classify as an unauthorized transfer of data. The Board voted unanimously to deny the grievance, siding with the administration's position that the electronic tool is a professional way to record grades rather than a violation of the contract. However, the meeting highlighted a lack of clarity regarding teacher requirements. While the administration characterizes the tool as a 'recommendation' to help automate grading, the practical application has caused significant friction. As a result, the Board has tasked the administration with issuing a formal written opinion to clarify once and for all whether the use of this electronic gradebook is a requirement or an option for teachers. https://meetingwatch.org/ct/stamford/board-of-education/2026-03-24/ #MeetingWatch #StamfordCT
