The discussion over the cost-effectiveness of the “pay to participate” plan for sports at Wallingford high schools is being discussed, and that’s a good development. As the news story indicates, although the total money involved is minor compared to the school budget of around $90 million, $97,800 is too much money not to be fully documented and accounted for, and the only people to do it is coaching staff.
Expansions along Route 5 in Wallingford are good news for the town’s coffers and good for businesses. They will be welcome additions in lots of ways.
Southington’s Superintendent Joseph V. Erardi is going to blog on the school system’s revamped website, and, to begin with, he wants to discuss the middle school project which will be coming before voters. This is an excellent approach for Erardi to try and we are glad he feels comfortable with it.
Spending $15,000 to extend the purchase agreement on Southington’s Primus property seems worthwhile. Pending applications for a state grant for this 24-acre property is expected to be decided next month.
New twists on the parking proposal in Wallingford seem not to change the basic issue. There is an apparent need for parking behind Simpson Court: the town wants to provide it by improving it under a lease rather than by purchasing it outright, certainly a more expensive option.
Meriden walkers and anyone else who uses the Quinnipiac Gorge Trail or trails in Hubbard Park have reason to be grateful for crews, both city and private individuals, who are working to remove Storm Irene’s windfalls. There is a lot of work being done to restore trails to good condition, and it is much appreciated.
