Full House as BOF Restores $310,000 to Board of Ed Budget

UPDATE There was a full house tonight for the Westport Board of Finance meeting as it considered a $700,000 restoration request from the Board of Education for its 2017-18 budget. After more than four hours of discussion, the board voted 5-2 to restore $310,000. Jen Tooker and John Hartwell were opposed, each proposing higher amounts — Hartwell $600,000 and Tooker $400,000 — which failed. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
