Part 3 - The State of Education in Danbury: A Tale of Underfunding.

A continuation of our discussion about the Danbury Public Schools with Joseph Dasilva Jr. member of the Danbury Board of Education. Joe provides us with clarity around the current school budget, along with a breakdown on what is really in it and what isn’t from the city of Danbury. “We got[an increase of] $1.2 million from the city of Danbury, which is not even enough to cover contractual increases. Flat out. It is effectively a budget cut.” - Joe DaSilva Jr. We also speak on City growth and its impact on students, magnet schools followed by conversation on Charter Schools. We end this one with the series wrap up, thank you all for tuning in.
