The state of CT awarded STEAP grants to small towns including $500K for a transfer station for Salisbury and Sharon. Many towns have received money for upgrades while cities have been deemed deficient in basic school services. How might citizens advocate for a more of a balance with creative solutions that meet the needs of both parties, towns and cities and share the joys and burdens of rearing youth and being community?
That's a lot of ka-ching, now if we could only invite a few hundred kids from under-served areas to attend school here...that would help balance the discrepancies.
