State: Joe Cirasuolo of the Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents says that about 1,200 public school teaching jobs have gone west this season, thanks to the economy. The main area of cuts is elementary schools. This job reduction seems stupid: either schools needed the teachers or they didn’t. Two factors: towns won’t tax to help schools in this economy and systems must drop personnel; there’s no way to make across the board salary reductions, which still seems a better choice than reducing the work force.
Meriden: The city has a very rich heritage in the older homes along Curtis Street. We hope the character, so mixed in its nature, can be maintained not only through the resurfacing and re-side-walking project but in the long years ahead.
