Dear Danbury Patch:

Can you please assist in getting the word out for this fundraiser for a former resident of Brookfield and Lifelong Connecticut Resident?  Dave grown up in Brookfield and currently resides in Willimantic. Chances are if you grown up in Brookfield you know the Wilson Twins, Bob and Dave and their younger brother Chris.   He has been diagnosed with stage 3 brain cancer and is need of assistance.  In efforts to bring awareness and raise funds to assist with the mounting medical costs please join us on Wednesday, August 22, 2012 for the Help Dave Wilson Fight fundraiser.  The event will take place at Two Steps Downtown Grille ( www.ciaocateringtwosteps.com), commencing at  6PM.  The event will have live music from the talented duo of Mike Walsh and Jim Lynch of the New Desperations.  Graciously, Tom Devine of Two Steps will be donating 10% of their sales this evening, I will be the “celebrity” bartender and all of my tips will be donated to this cause, so let’s make this a night to remember.  Please share this invitation to your friends and colleges to assist with this great cause and an enjoyable evening out.  If you are not able to attend but would still like to make a charitable donation, you may visit Dave’s website at: www.helpdavewilsonfight.com .

 Thank you for your time and effort, let’s see how many people we can get to Two Steps to rally for Dave, please share the word.

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?
