The Teton County Board of County Commissioners and Jackson Town Council s joint budget talks are set to continue Thursday.
The morning sessions, set to run from 9 a.m. to noon, will see county and town elected officials ask questions about requested budgets from a slew of nonprofits that receive public funding.
Those entities include the 10 or so members of the Human Services Council â a group that includes One22, Teton Youth and Family Services and other related nonprofits â as well as groups like the Teton Board of Realtors and Dancers Workshop.
The afternoon sessions, set to run from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., will start with an opportunity for the town and county to ask questions about budget requests for organizations like Energy Conservation Works.
City Nonprofits Face Financial Catastrophe Due to Pandemic’s Demands

New York City’s human service nonprofits stepped in to fill a myriad of gaps during the pandemic, from feeding the hungry to getting cash assistance to undocumented immigrants who didn’t qualify for federal stimulus payments. But a new survey by the Center for an Urban Future finds many of these same organizations are now “on the precipice of financial catastrophe” because they spent so much additional money.
The think tank surveyed two dozen of these nonprofits and found most are now experiencing a yearly budget deficit between 15 and 50%. These include the YMCA of Greater New York, which lost more than $100 million in revenue (half of its operating budget), and Citymeals on Wheels, which spent $3.5 million more than it budgeted last year because it delivered 26% more meals than during the previous year, due to COVID-19.

Elementary, middle, and high school students will all be able to go back on the same day good news for the older kids, since the city previously said there was no guarantee of when middle and high schools would accept them.
Richard Lemons, executive director for the Connecticut Center for School Change, gives an update on the effort to create a new strategic operating plan for Norwalk Public Schools, Tuesday at the Board of Education meeting.
NORWALK, Conn. The dates for high school graduations and middle school promotion ceremonies are set, but the exact number of people who will be allowed at each are still up in the air, Norwalk Public Schools Superintendent Alexandra Estrella said at the Board of Education meeting on Tuesday.
The ceremonies will be most likely outdoors, she said.
“The numbers are going to depend on the cases around that time,” she said. “Right now, we have restrictions in terms of how large the groups can be. And we’re also even trying to organize prom and taking these numbers into account. So it’s a day-by-day situation right now.”
