The Brookfield superintendent accused of overspending more than $1 million of the school district’s budget was fired Thursday night in a unanimous decision by the Board of Education.
According to town officials, the district surpassed its budget by $1.2 million over the course of several years while Anthony Bivona served as superintendent. Bivona was charged with keeping an eye on expenditures.
Although he is not facing criminal charges, Bivona was placed on paid leave in the spring. The Board of Education voted unanimously to terminate Bivona in a Thursday night meeting at Brookfield High School.
Officials said the extra money was not used toward personal purchases but did not share details about where specifically it was directed.
