Farmington Schools, Calendar, Board Meetings & District Office
The Farmington Board of Education governs Farmington Public Schools, a Connecticut district serving students from elementary school through Farmington High School.

This guide brings the Board office, 2026–27 calendar, current Board members, schools, registration, bus help, employment, budget and official meeting resources together so families can go directly to the right Farmington Public Schools page.

Farmington school transportation and alternate bus requests
Farmington currently uses Specialty Transportation, Inc. for district transportation. The Farmington terminal is at 150 New Britain Avenue in Unionville, and the district publishes a dedicated transportation email for parent questions.
Transportation contact
Specialty Transportation, Inc.

Alternate transportation
Parents needing pickup or drop-off somewhere other than the home address must submit the district’s online alternate transportation request.

Do not wait until the same afternoon: an alternate pickup/drop-off request is not presented as an instant bus-route change. The district specifically warns that changes may require several business days.
Farmington school budget and public budget process
Farmington’s school budget is part of a broader Town budget process. For 2026–27, the Board held budget workshops in late January and early February, followed by Town Council/public hearings, a Town Meeting and a town-wide referendum.
BOE budget book
The official Board Budget Information page links the 2026–27 Board budget book.
Town referendum
The published 2026–27 budget timeline lists a town-wide referendum on April 30, 2026.
Farmington Public Schools employment opportunities
The district maintains a current online vacancy system for teaching and non-teaching positions. Its Employment Opportunities page also highlights substitutes and related hiring resources.
Best job-search route: open the district’s current vacancy page instead of relying on an older search result. Farmington labels both current and anticipated vacancies in its online system.
Farmington school searches that often cause confusion
“I found 1 Monteith Drive.”
That address appears on older district material. Current Farmington pages and the Central Office move announcement use 14 Monteith Drive.
“I need the next Board meeting.”
Open the current 2026–27 BOE Meeting Dates file. The alternate-Monday pattern is useful, but exact dates should be confirmed from the official schedule.
“I need a meeting recording.”
Use the district’s Board meeting page, which links recordings posted by Nutmeg Television.
“I don’t know which elementary school.”
Use the current interactive school-boundary map rather than an old neighborhood list.
“My child needs another bus stop.”
Submit the alternate transportation request in advance. The district says changes may take 3–5 business days.
“My child is younger than the kindergarten cutoff.”
Check the district’s kindergarten exception guidance instead of assuming the child is automatically eligible or ineligible.
