The Editor's Notepod, Wed., June 8, 2011

In hot weather, schools can really heat up, and systems in Meriden, Wallingford, Southington and Cheshire are keeping an eye on conditions and stresses, considering the possibility of early dismissal. Imagine going to school before there was bottled water or when the main solution to heat was to open the windows!

Meriden teachers will take a furlough day in the 2011-12 academic year. This should help bridge the budgetary gap.

The community garden behind Southington town hall is almost ready to plant. We look forward to seeing the green shoots rising from the soil.

It’s reasonable that Wallingford’s school board reassess its field trip policies, particularly those which might involve international travel. It would be beneficial to sort out issues before plans are made and tickets bought rather than at the last minute.
