Meriden: In the debate over support for Catholic parochial schools, this issue, one thought, was settled years ago now. Providing special services turns out to be something of a wash for the city: were they not provided, chances are thought fairly high that parents of students needing them might opt to send the kids to public schools, where they would presumably qualify and be given them, thus costing more or less the same amount. Sam rationale as busing kids to school. Why not simply eliminate all school busing, and let parents take responsibility for getting their kids back and forth to school?
Southington: board of finance cuts more from school budget, making comparison to the non-school total, which makes, without further information, good sense. But are the two parts of the budget comparable?
Meriden: UConn student from city wants to make it legal for students to carry concealed weapons. How can this possibly make anyone safer in any circumstance whatever? Kids/students/adolescents/young adults need fewer weapons at access, not more.
Cheshire: school system is going to try school activity fees once again. This is a bad plan. A public school is free. Either provide any activity free or don’t do them.
Wallingford: Wooding-Caplan access to be repaved for $75,000 . . . and even that is controversial. Enough said. Or perhaps we should remember about those good intentions and the road to Hell.
Area: Those Earth Day suggestions are all things more folks should try to include in their daily considerations.
