UPDATE: Ansonia School Board Finance Committee Details $403,305 In Education Cuts

ANSONIAA subcommittee of the city’s school board voted Thursday (May 15) to recommend about $403,000 in program cuts in advance of a third budget referendum scheduled for May 23.

The new proposed school budget is $39,157,414.05. That’s a 4.2 percent increase over the current year budget – but $403,305 less than the budget voters rejected at two previous referendums.

Members of the Board of Aldermen are scheduled to host a budget hearing over Zoom at 6 p.m. Monday (May 19) and then, at a public meeting immediately thereafter, vote to send the budgets to referendum.
