Impacting our children, our property taxes and our real estate values
- Did you know that the biggest expense for teacher development is the cost of substitute teachers?
- Did you know that Norwalk school system runs a budget of $160 million per year? This is bigger than the GDP of a number of Caribbean island nations, several times bigger than Vineyard Vines and roughly the size of Facebook!
- Did you know that there is only $6 mm left in our capital budget to renovate our schools?
On November 3rd, we vote for key players who make decisions about the future of our schools – the Mayor, the City Council and the At-Large Members of the Board of Education – AND a new Superintendent will be appointed soon. This is a critical year for education.
To make your informed decision, come hear what these important candidates have to say. Wednesday October 21st, Roton Middle School 201 Highland Avenue 7 – 9 pm.
Email your questions confidentially to Vote4Education@optonline.net
