Residents of Danbury and the surrounding communities, have an unprecedented opportunity to participate in a historic cancer prevention study that has the potential to change the face of cancer for future generations. 

The Cancer Prevention Study 3 is sponsored by the American Cancer Society and will examine lifestyle, genetics and environmental factors and help to understand what causes and prevents cancer from occuring.

To participate as a Study Participant on June 2nd you must be:

  • Between the ages of 30 and 65
  • Never been diagnosed with malignant cancer (basal and squamous cell are okay)
  • Willing to participate in a long-term study 

The enrollment process will take place at the New Fairfield High School track. This is the only site in the state of Connecticut selected for 2012. Study participants will be asked to side a consent form, complete a short enrollment survey, give a waist measurement (cms), and give a small blood sample (about 7 tsps). The entire process will take around one hour. 

For a priority parking pass please email RelayForLifeNFCPS3@gmail.com with your name, address and telephone number. Walk-ins are also welcome. 

If you cannot participate, please pass this information along to friends and family members who might consider participating.

Help us stamp out cancer for future generations.

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?
