Union Savings Bank receives U.S. Small Business Administration 2012 Eagle Award for “outstanding contributions” to lending

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) recently recognized Union Savings Bank as a 2012 Eagle Award recipient. The bank was honored along with 10 other award recipients during SBA’s annual Lenders & Partners meeting on October 16 in Trumbull.   

Union Savings Bank – the only Danbury-area bank honored – was a recipient in the “Outstanding Contributions to SBA Lending” category in recognition of its increased loan volume during the past several years. This award is the second the bank has received in this category. It received its first in 2010.

“We are honored to receive this recognition,” said Union Savings Bank President and CEO Fran Dattalo. “It is without a doubt the result of our continued efforts to build strong relationships with local businesses and contribute to their growth and the vitality of the communities we serve.”

g, Let's throw out some more numbers... Here is a site to look at:Read More http://www.sde.ct.gov/sde/lib/sde/PDF/dgm/report1/basiccon.pdf This is the Connecticut State Department of Education Bureau of Grants Management spreadsheet. It shows and compares what Danbury is paying per student compared to the rest of the state. Looking at the numbers, out of the 170+ districts in the state, Danbury pays the 8th LEAST amount per pupil. Out of the 10 districts in Connecticut that have over 10,000 students, Danbury ranks 2nd LOWEST in the state. This amount is about $3,000 less per pupil than the average of the state and the average of districts with 10,000+ students.

Good afternoon Jessica, Danbury plans to spend approximately $114,000,000 on teaching staff salaryRead More and benefits for the next school year per the school budget here - http://www.danbury.k12.ct.us/bbadmin/Budget/2012-2013%20budget.pdf the total budget is $121,000,000. Teachers, administrators, contracted professionals, staff enrichment programs, staff insurance, and the rest comprise about 95% of the school system budget. See staff cost summary on page 8 of the report. You'll also note our board of education plans to spend a bit more than 3 million dollars on supplies and materials plus a million on equipment. The budget represents a 5% increase from the prior year. On our district home page - http://www.danbury.k12.ct.us/ it says Danbury has 10,300 my calculator tells me that's about $12,000 per child in the district. With $12,000 per child, why are teachers paying for supplies? Hmm ... let me think ... 95% of the budget goes to staff salary and benefits for the long 185 day year .... I have a guess where the money goes. Do you?
