Residents are reminded that the Town’s two public swimming locations will shift into their end-of-summer hours this week.

As of August 19, Eichler’s Cove and Treadwell Park pool will be on limited hours.

Through September 1, both locations will be open from 2:30 to 8 pm Mondays and Wednesdays; 2:30 to 7 pm Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays; and 10 am to 7 pm Saturdays and Sundays.

The final day of the 2019 season will be Labor Day Monday, September 2. Both locations will be open from 1 to 7 pm that day.

For additional information, including day pass fees, contact Newtown Parks & Recreation at 203-270-4340 or visit newtown-ct.gov/parks-recreation.

Treadwell Pool, above, and Eichler's Cove have both moved into their end-of-summer schedule. Abbreviated hours are in effect until September 1; one final shortened day will be offered September 2, and then the Town swimming locations will be closed for the season. —Bee file photo

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).
