NORWICH Kelly Steam Magnet Middle School seventh grade student Braden Pink is looking forward to getting the vaccine, as it means dining out, seeing friends more often and eventually not worrying about masks.
“We’ve been stuck for more than a year with COVID, so it’s nice to slowly get back to our normal lives,” Pink said.
On Monday, Norwich Public Schools with United Community Family Services (UCFS) ran a COVID-19 vaccine clinic for 175 Kelly students. Another one for 125 Teacher’s Memorial Global Magnet Middle School students will take place on Tuesday. This is after the CDC approved use of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for people ages 12 to 15 last week.
Salomone said he d like to compete a review by next week. That would be the best for the council and the taxpayer to see it up front, Salomone said.
An item on the meeting agenda read: “An effort to reduce the general fund budget or to identify additional or alternate possible sources of revenue to reach a target reduction figure of 3%.” The resolution was sponsored by the council s three Republicans: Mayor Peter Nystrom, Bill Nash and Stacy Gould.
But the Democrats were hesitant to place more work on Salomone and his office and felt that a call to reduce the budget would contradict a resolution passed unanimously earlier in the evening increasing funding for the city clerk and tax offices.
Norwich The Board of Education on Tuesday is slated to vote on a proposal to change the Monday, Oct. 11, holiday from Columbus Day to Indigenous People Day.

“We felt it was brought to us by the community, and we had already planned to make the change when we talked about the calendar,” Romanski said.
The board is scheduled to vote on the 2021-22 school calendar, which included the change, during the board s 5:30 p.m. meeting. The meeting will be aired live on Facebook Live.
