Letter To The Editor: 'Time To Trim The Fat In The Schools Budget'

Dear Editor,

Finally! While the Wilton Board of Finance does not have any “line item” authority over the schools budget, the BOF is appropriately holding the school administration’s feet to the fire on budget issues that seem to be in need of attention. Like most people I am not a budget “hawk” nor do I advocate for austerity budgets in our schools, but it is time to trim the fat in the schools budget. And, despite what Dr. Kevin Smith and Deborah Low seem to suggest, reining in spending can be done in ways that are not directly impacting our students and their education.
