The Editor's Notepod, Fri., Nov. 19, 2010

Meriden: the rumor mill, churning away at that $11 million projected shortfall for fiscal 2011-12, promptly started grinding out schools allegedly “to be closed” – all with no foundation in fact. At an informational session, it was stated clearly that the possible closing of a school is at the bottom of the list of options, but it was also clear that finding $11 million would not be an easy job.

Southington: it’s too bad that difficulties over the closure of part of West Main Street in Plantsville have come to the fore. It’s late to solve them and late to change the plans and no one wants to injure anyone’s business in this economic environment.

Cheshire: is there any concern over the exact reason for encouraging (or extracting, or forcing or arranging) the resignation of the High School Girls’ Soccer Coach? Did he get in trouble for disagreeing with the policy on punishing teen drinking when it occurs off-campus, or for expressing a difference with the board, and is this a policy appropriate to the administration?
