Forgive me, I guess I don't quite see how we are 1 million over budget? What financials are you…Read More referring too? The third quarter statement of account? Was last year the year the BOE returned $ to the town?
Absolutely agree with you about the middle school, we need more STEM offerings. Right now high schoolers are required to show they are proficient in Microsoft Office. Many take a semester long course to help prepare for the test (seems like that time could be better spent). Other students just take the proficiency test. Seems like this can be something that can be addressed earlier than high school. Why not offer the course to 8th graders, and let them show they are proficient in Microsoft Office before they even get to high school.

It seems apparent to me as I watch children getting picked up in the morning by school buses that…Read More there is some stream lining that could be done with the school bus budget. There are at least five separate buses that pick up children in front of my hose on Jennings road each morning 4 of which are all elementary. Can all these children in a two block radius go to different schools and if they do why. all the buses are almost empty when they pick up these children. Why then potentially are we paying all this money for buses when less can be used?

"But what does this amount to? How does a solid education translate to the all important SAT…Read More scores?"

For flat, easy terrain, the beach area and old post road offer the best situations. On weekends…Read More you'll find plenty of bike riders in the area so you'll have some company and there is plenty of scenery. Also, there are a couple of multi-use off-road paths located at Ash Creek (near Fairfield Metro Station) and Pine Creek.

Hi, there are lots of beautiful trails in CT. Google "rails to trails" and enter your zip.…Read More Here's a link to the trail I walk....it starts in Trumbull and goes to Monroe. http://www.traillink.com/trail/housatonic-rail-trail-in-trumbull-%28pequonnock-valley-greenway%29.aspx?utm_expid=5284793-5&utm_referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Furl%3Fsa%3Dt%26rct%3Dj%26q%3D%26esrc%3Ds%26source%3Dweb%26cd%3D2%26ved%3D0CDEQFjAB%26url%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.traillink.com%252Ftrail%252Fhousatonic-rail-trail-in-trumbull-%28pequonnock-valley-greenway%29.aspx%26ei%3D82SSUfOYIKnq0wG_74HwAg%26usg%3DAFQjCNHFcjZlNfHcnxHhm3pQD9iSINlF4g%26bvm%3Dbv.46471029%2Cd.dmQ

Creeky, the condos were 65 luxury units, and there were no low income or affordable housing…Read More included. We do not accept the alternative of industrial versus overly dense huge condos looming over our homes. Is there any new industrial activity likely in Fairfield? Industrial is leaving and not coming here, especially to a polluted site like Thorpe Street. We expect the property owner to come back with a more reasonable residential development that we can support because it will integrate into our neighborhood.
