Wooster School Fall Open House

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Wooster School Open House

DANBURY, CT (September 24, 2012) – Wooster School will hold an Open House for families interested in any of our programs for three year olds through the Twelfth Grade on Saturday, October 13, 2012 at 9 am. The program will begin with student and faculty panels and question and answer sessions. Families will be able to tour the campus and the program will be finished by 10:30 am.

Wooster School has seen a 12% enrollment increase over last year, with a total of 371 students enrolled for the 2012-2013 academic year. We have opened a new Science Lab for Lower School students in Grover Hall, where kindergarteners can learn about magnets and older students can create recycling projects, study loggerhead turtles, and perform other scientific inquiry.

We have broadened our curriculum offerings in Theatre.  Under the supervision of actor/writer/director Beau Gravitte, the Wooster Theatre Department presents a course of study that covers all areas of theatrical production, from acting and directing to scenic, lighting, and costume design and production.

And we have instituted new Computer Graphics courses for Upper School students, which offer them the opportunity to learn graphic design and the use of various illustration and graphics software.

Come to the Open House to learn about these exciting changes and the other academic benefits, tour the school campus, and experience the heart and the warmth of Wooster School!

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?
