All financial obligations to which the Town shall be party, whose term
is greater than one year and whose dollar value exceeds $10,000 per year,
including all contracts and renewals, extensions, amendments or modifications
of any contracts, and grant-eligible school building projects, shall be subject

is waived.
All financial terms, conditions and benefits contained within employment
or other contracts between the Board of Education and the Superintendent of
Schools, which exceed the statutory authorized length of three years, shall
be subject to the approval of the Board of Finance and the Board of Selectmen.
All contracts that are required to be brought before the Branford RTM
for its approval are not subject to the provisions of this chapter.
