Westport Forum Discusses Bridgeport Schools

The Westport Public Library tonight hosted a discussion on “Spotlight on Bridgeport Schools—Why Should We Care?” Panelists included (l-r) Marilyn Ondrasik, executive director of the Bridgeport Child Advocacy Coalition, Peter Hurst, president of Community’s Bank in Bridgeport, and Dr. John Ramos, superintendent of Bridgeport schools. Noting that many educationally deprived Bridgeport children turn to crime and that the city is a quick ride from Westport, Hurst asked: “Do you want that 18 minutes from this town? I hope not.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) WestportNow.com photo
