DANBURY — As the mayor seeks to set a budget with no tax increase, the school board is asking for a 9.82 percent rise in education spending.
The board approved—with nine in favor and one abstention—to send the mayor a $149 million budget proposal that they say is necessary to tackle various challenges, including rising enrollment, and move the district forward.
