As Students Go Back To Class In Darien, Here's A Summer Recap Of Work At School Facilities

DARIEN, CT — On the eve of students returning to class in Darien, the town's Board of Education heard a recap from various departments about work that was completed over the summer months.

As part of that recap, DPS Facilities Director Kevin Munrett gave a rundown on projects at several school buildings.

"In the facilities world, we can summarize this past summer in two words, and that would be 'teamwork' and 'effort,'" Munrett told the board on Tuesday. "We received a tremendous amount of both."

Munrett said "every building was touched on some level of construction and renovation."

Tuesday's Board of Education meeting is available to watch on demand on Darien TV.
