Tuesday’s Norwalk Board of Education meeting on Zoom.
NORWALK, Conn. Surprise capital budget requests got their first public airing Tuesday as the Norwalk Board of Education reviewed its proposed $7 million renovation to the former Briggs High School and a hoped-for $46 million career and technical high school in four or five years.
Neither were mentioned last year or sprang from the much-ballyhooed feasibility study five years ago, but former Board Chairman Mike Barbis praised the Briggs plan, while slamming the efforts to build a new Norwalk High School.
“Norwalk High School’s taking money away from schools that really need it,” said Barbis, former Facilities Committee Chairman. “We don’t need to do Norwalk High School. We know it’s a whole political shenanigan.”

NORWALK The city has close to 3,800 high school students, but only about 400 of them are currently learning in a physical classroom these days.
Though Norwalk emphasized its commitment to keeping schools open for in-person learning even as coronavirus cases rise and classes go remote due to quarantines and staffing shortages, only a small portion of high school students are using the hybrid option that keeps them in the buildings part of the week.
