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.”
