Show Notes
Winsted, Connecticut, contemplates a significant educational overhaul: merging its pre-K to 6th-grade system with the Gilbert School foundation, which manages 7th to 12th grades. The aim is to cut administrative costs and alleviate budget strains. The town, grappling with school funding for over a decade, faces a potential two-mill tax hike due to proposed budget increases. School board members debate the merits and risks of the merger, with some advocating for a consultant to explore all options, including regional partnerships, by mid-September.
