Longer-form draft.
At the June 30 Board of Education meeting, members convened a special hearing to determine whether the administration's decision not to renew the contract of multilingual teacher Natalia Gargula was 'arbitrary and capricious. During the hearing, the administration provided testimony and exhibits claiming that Ms. Gargula failed to meet instructional standards despite receiving tiered support and a reduced workload. They argued that her performance did not improve even with significant administrative oversight. Ms. Gargula contested these claims, alleging that the evaluation process was inconsistent and that the decision was not based on her teaching, but on personal animus. Most significantly, she testified that she was subjected to inappropriate comments regarding her national origin and language background. The hearing was recessed before all evidence could be presented due to time constraints. The Board of Education must now schedule a date to reconvene and complete its review of these serious allegations regarding administrative conduct and potential discrimination. https://meetingwatch.org/ct/stamford/board-of-education/2026-06-30/ #MeetingWatch #StamfordCT
