SHELTON — Athletic Director John Niski is working full time again as part of an agreement settling his grievance against the Board of Education.
The board, at its meeting on Tuesday, approved a deal settling the grievance, which was filed on Niski’s behalf by the administrators’ union after the athletic director position was shifted to a part-time position.
This shift was one of many cost-cutting moves approved during the BOE’s $3.2 million mitigation in June to keep the education budget at the city-approved $72,650,000 for the 2020-21 fiscal year.
