Sundays New York Times includes a letter from a Westporter defending the Board of EducationҒs decision to save money by changing the starting time of Coleytown Middle School in the fall.
The letter, headlined School Board Did Its HomeworkӔ in the Connecticut section from Marjorie Cion, was a follow-up to letters in the newspaper two weeks ago critical of the boards decision.
ғThe June 22 edition of the Connecticut section contained several letters from Westport residents concerning the start time changes in the Westport school system for the next year, she wrote.
ԓI do not believe those letters accurately represented the events leading to the decision to implement those changes.
