Now that the summer softball season has pretty much wound down, itâs time to think about FALL softball.

Newtown Hawks travel softball is trying to organize a possible fall softball schedule for U10, U12, and U14 players (in addition to planning ahead for the summer 2001 season). Next summer, the teams will compete in the Central Valley Fastpitch League (an ASA league), but this fall a schedule would include games against Putnam County and Western Connecticut teams.

Anyone interested in playing should call head coaches Nancy Bowen at 426-7101 (U10 players), Rich Van Waalwijk at 426-1673 (U12 players), or Norm LaFlamme at 426-1954 (U14 players). Any qualified individuals interested in coaching a U16 or a U18 team should call Paul LaFrancesca at 270-1844.

To be eligible for each age bracket, you must be that age or younger on January 1, 2001.

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.

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.”

Concerns With Adherence To School District Policies

Additionally, they also anticipate over a $300,000 surplus for this fiscal year.
