The final drawing and grand prize award for the Teen Summer Reading Challenge at C.H. Booth Library will take place Monday, August 9, at 3 pm, in the meeting room, on the lower level of the library. All raffle tickets must be deposited in the boxes in the young adult area of the library, second floor, by 3 pm, on that Monday. This is the deadline before the final drawing.

A special drawing for the grand prize, a laser tag party at the Sports Center of Shelton, will follow the drawings for the last six raffle prizes of the summer. Every teen summer reading participantâs name will be entered once in the contest to win the laser tag party.

The library is grateful to the generosity of local sponsors that donated raffle prizes this year: Bagel Delight, Cave Comics, Dunkinâ Donuts, Edmund Town Hall Theater, Francoâs Pizza, Newtown Pizza Palace, Tambascioâs Italian Grill, and the Sports Center of Shelton.

Members of the YA Council will assist in the drawings. All participants are welcome to attend, but it is not necessary to be present to win. Winners will be notified by phone.

I am sorry but $88.8 million dollars to educate 4030 kids is way out of line! That's over $22k per kid, used to be $8k per kid, the kids aren't getting any smarter, the administration eats all the cost. Time to cut the budget by 20% and also cut the $225k salary of the superintendent and $193k of the superintendent assistant ! You can get a lot of teachers for $400k wasted for 2 overpaid positions. Common sense should tell you that spending $2.5 million per every week for population less than 30k people is just way too high! Also voting should be done by mail, enough with these nonsensical referendums where barely 16% of voters show up. 51% voters approval should be MANDATED!

Referendum Results: Split Decision

Encouraging. The town budget squeaks by but the school budget got dinged. Let the games begin.

Who have you asked that didn't know where to cut? Its easy. Ideally, you would start with section 100 of the budget but the union prevents that. So I say you turn to page 18, put it on your dart board, and start reducing the head count. It's all you can do when the union controls the budget.

Vote Yes On April 23

The people have spoken, time to sharpen your pencils. If we look at the town budget for guidance the BOE should cut the budget from 4.4% to 2.75% I find the voting results very interesting ... We have approximately 4,030 students in our town, with a published 12:1 ratio which means we have 335 teachers. I would love to know the actual number if someone knows. If we account for their spouses that gets us very close to the number of people who voted yes for the budget and wished it would be higher (729).
