• Region 12 changes nepotism policy, allowing board members' relatives to work in schools (ctpost.com) — Region 12's school board has loosened its nepotism rules, now allowing relatives of board members to work in district schools as long as relationships are disclosed and members recuse from related votes. Nearby districts, including New Milford, still bar supervisors from overseeing relatives but do not forbid hiring board members' family, highlighting how Region 12's previous policy was unusually strict.
