City Council Meeting/Public Hearing Monday

The Danbury City Council will consider two land deals Monday night at a public hearing that will be followed by a city council meeting.

The Danbury City Council will hold a meeting Monday night in place of the one canceled by bad weather earlier in November. Before the meeting, the council will hold a public hearing first on two land deals.

The city is considering a land swap on Newtown Road that will improve the city's access to its public works facility. The public hearing is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. and the meeting will follow at 7:30 p.m.

The city will consider selling the former WIC building at 13 Main St. The Women, Infant and Children program has moved to another city building, and the WIC building is now considered surplus. The WIC building dates back to the Revolutionary War, and the debate Monday night will focus on the historic or lack of historic value left in the house.

Here are the city's links to the two land deals.

1) Proposed Land Swap and  Driveway Installation---Newtown Road/Public Works Facility
2. Sale of Surplus Property - WIC Building - 13 Main Street

3.) Here is the agenda for for the City Council meeting.

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?
