(November 28, 1954-January 29, 2024)

Terry Elizabeth (Campbell) Krupka, 69, of Newtown, left this earth unexpectedly to join the angels in heaven on January 29, 2024.

She was born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1954 and was the daughter of the late Charles Campbell Sr and Mildred (Martin) Campbell, and sister of the late Charles Campbell Jr.

Terry is survived by her brother Richard Campbell and wife Tammy, of Colorado Springs, Colo.; many nieces and nephews, and her beloved children: son, Aaron Campbell and wife Kerri of Johnston, R.I., and her daughter, Judy Goulette and her children, Terry’s only grandsons, Liam and Cassius Goulette of Newtown. Terry’s grandsons were the joys of her life and after her retirement she moved from Florida to Connecticut, devoting her time to being a loving grandma and helping care for them.

Terry had also lived in Punta Gorda, Fla., for many years and previously Smithfield, R.I., for most of her life. Throughout her career she worked as a school bus transportation director and bus driver, making many lasting friendships along the way. She also enjoyed photography, cooking for others, and traveling across the country to see her family and friends while stopping to appreciate all the beautiful landmarks and scenery on her journeys.

Terry always showed unconditional kindness for everyone in her life, often offering her advice, support, comfort, and heart to anyone in need. She always made sure her door was open to anyone who had nowhere to go, especially on holidays, and was a shining example of true compassion for all. Terry was affectionately called “mom” by many of her children’s friends and will be deeply missed by all.

Terry’s burial will be on Friday, February 9, at noon, at Pocasset Cemetery in Rhode Island, followed by a celebration of life at noon, Saturday, February 10, at her daughter Judy’s home at 21 Boulevard in Newtown. All are welcome to join our family and friends to memorialize her imprint on all our hearts.

Honan Funeral Home, 58 Main Street in Newtown, is serving the family.

Yes, she did say that. Why would any bureaucrat publicly admit they made a mistake or recommended violating policy? Yet others, including board members, acknowledged naming the vendor for the routing services as All Star was "a mistake" and likely poisoned the well to other bidders (as was explicitly specifying the fuel type of the rolling stock.) While the members knew they did not get a competitive response to the RFP, they awarded the contract anyway... to the same vendor who got a no-bid contract in 2017. That means Newtown's ~$4.5M annual bus contract has not been put out to bid in 10 years, something to consider when asking why our PPE is so high.

Concerns With Adherence To School District Policies

They clearly didn't get the message ! CUT THE BUDGET by 20% , not raise it ! Newtown spends $2,500,000.00 every week now ! It will be $2.6m if you approve it ! Who are these people not paying attention to the cost of living? Throwing money at the school administration will not make your kids any smarter ! We are at $22K per kid per year, that is insane ! CUT THE BUDGET ! Go show up and VOTE, because 1200 people who voted yes will show up again, and it's the 1200 people who decide your cost of living for years to come. 51% voters turnout should be mandated to approve the budget, not pathetic 15% of voters. Stop these nonsensical referendums and send everyone a card in the mail so we have a true outcome what people actually want.

Council Cuts $1.4 Million From School Budget

All due respect, the headline to this article is misleading. The budget presented was a proposed budget that did not pass public referendum. There are no cuts to anything, rather a reduction in the Board of Education original asking dollars. As matter of fact, the current recommendation from the LC is an increase of 2.3M more than the previous budget from 2023/24.

Some background on the Bus comment Mr Knapp made on not following policy. From ther Bee may 2023. Following a Request for Proposal (RFP), the school board learned at its March 15 meeting that only one bid came back for the school district’s transportation contract. The current contract with All-Star Transportation, which oversees the majority of bus routes for the district, is set to end at the end of this school year. At the May 3 meeting, district Director of Business & Finance Tanja Vadas said — reacting to Public Participation speaker Ryan Knapp who, among other things concerning the transportation contract, questioned the school district’s RFP process — she stands by the district’s RFP process “but other companies just didn’t bid.”
