Board of Finance Restores $800,000 to Ed Budget

/
The Board of Finance voted 4-2 (Anderson, Ezzes, Mayer, Kassen in favor) with one abstention (Haberstroh) tonight to restore $800,000 of $1.25 million it cut previously from the Board of Education’s proposed $75.12 million budget. Board of Ed chair Sandra Urist earlier told the board that if all money were not restored, the school system would be hurt. An attempt to restore all the money failed on a 2-5 vote (Anderson, Haberstroh in favor). (CLICK PHOTO TO ENLARGE) WestportNow.com photo
