Meriden continues to deal with a school lunch deficit, and is controlling the debt by feeding children behind more than five meals cheese sandwiches. It’s an interesting ploy and may work, but it remains a fact that even $60,000 of lunch debt over three years is a tiny fraction of a $100 million school budget, and that feeding high carbohydrate lunches in an effort to reduce debt rather conflicts with efforts to fight obesity.
Somehow, it just doesn’t seem to be the best outcome concerning parking issues for visitors to Wallingford’s successful Trail of Terror (or any other community event) to have improperly parked cars towed away. Clearly, parking is a problem for some nearby property owners, concerned with liability and vandalism, but would it not be possible for police to be involved in warning parkers away or in posting cones or safety tape to prevent parkers?
Meriden is working on plans to save money by early retirement of teaches, which is a common enough plan. But where does this leave the city’s system when it comes to the vaunted longevity of teachers, which was just in a news story?
