“Historically, Superintendent contracts at Derby Public Schools are brought annually around this time and are a rolling two-year contract,” A school spokesperson said. “We believe further conversation may take place at a future Board Meeting to clarify the Board’s desire regarding these contracts.”

According to Derby Schools’ website, Bohaty has served within the Derby public school system for over 27 years as a teacher, principal and assistant superintendent.

Additionally, Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Becky Moeder and Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction Holly Putnam’s contracts were voted to not be renewed.
