A review of police pursuit policies is well-worth reading, and not just for officers. It is good to know that state police in situations like that which occurred in Southington on Meriden Waterbury road at the end of December and which resulted in a crash and fire with a tanker, are subject to some careful – if necessarily quick – supervision.
Southington has been setting its school calendar for next year and, because Veteran’s Day is a Sunday, there will be school on the Monday but not on subsequent years, a decision reflecting veterans’ wishes. But Superintendent Irardi’s suggestion, a month or so ago, that kids be in school on that day, actually studying the sacrifices veterans made, makes more sense than staying home in front of the TV.
The Early Childhood Collaborative of Southington has received a grant from the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain to enable it to remain in operation for the remainder of this year. We hope some other funding sources can be discovered.
Foreclosure rate in Connecticut and elsewhere seems to be easing, suggesting a turnaround in the economy. We hope this is reason for quiet optimism.
There’s more to be said, one suspects, about “scream rooms” as revealed in a story today from Middletown Public Schools. It is a disturbing concept, but one which may have a place in a student’s Individualized Education Program, which is arrived at by parents, teachers, social workers and other school professionals.
It was a good decision of Meriden’s Public Works and Parks and Recreation Committee to recommend spending $28,000 to restore the path to Nathan Hale School to usable quality. This is a sensible course and we hope the full council approves it.
