Danbury Police Log: Shooting, Violation of Probation, Burglary

The following information was provided by the Danbury Police Department. A person charged with a crime is innocent until having been convicted in court.

Danbury Police were called to the area of Main Street at Danbury Commons Monday at about 7:40 p.m. on word there had been a shooting. Police said they found two men sitting in a car.

"They didn't know if they were the suspects or the victims," said Police Spokesman Thomas Wendel, so police asked the men to step out of the car.

They discovered one of the men had been shot in the lower leg. The man was transported to Danbury Hospital for treatment.

Danbury police said the men were not cooperating with the police and the incident is under investigation.

In a separate incident, Danbury Police charged Almiro DeOliveira, Dean Road, Brookfield, with two counts of violating probation at about 10:30 p.m. Monday. DeOliveira was held on a $2,000 bond.

In a separate incident, Jeremias Cruz, 27, of East Pearl Street, Danbury, was charged with second-degree burglary at about 7:30 p.m. Monday. Police said they were sent to Franklin Street on a burglary complaint. The victim said she saw a Hispanic male climb into her window while she was sleeping, and she said the man climbed back out when he realized she was awake. She later helped police identify him when they found him on Main Street. Cruz was held on a $10,000 bond.

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?
