Show Notes
The Bridgeport Board of Education voted in favor of adopting a $106 million increase in the district’s operations budget. The vote was 6-2 in favor with 1 abstention. The 36% increase reportedly addresses the need to restore jobs, equipment and services that had been cut over more than a decade due to chronic underfunding in the city. Joe Sakolovic, Vice Chair of the Bridgeport Board of Education, explained why the board overwhelmingly approved the big ask.
