Despite the fact the Stafford MSD Board of Trustees voted in May to shrink the districtâs staff amid talk of budget concerns, Superintendent Robert Bostic says the district is in a better fiscal position now and hasnât actually reduced the number of full-time staff.
The district did, however, eliminate some administrative positions, Bostic said.
District leaders in May had been concerned because they received projections that the student enrollment might decline by more than 300 because of the coronavirus pandemic, and moved to reduce staff in order to fix a possible future budget crunch, Bostic explained last week.
Even at the time, the district had a healthy fund balance of about $14 million, but wanted to make a long-term fix, Bostic said.

Sara Varga will become assistant principal of Stafford Elementary School effective July 12. She has served the Ellington Public Schools since 2001 as a teacher, numeracy specialist and lead teacher at Windermere Elementary School. It has been a pleasure and honor to serve the Ellington Public Schools for the past 20 years, Varga said. I will hold dear the positive relationships I have formed with the students, families, and staff of the Ellington community. I look forward to this new opportunity as I join Stafford Elementary School as an assistant principal.

Because of age requirements, it sometimes can be hard for middle level students to find holiday service opportunities with organizations like soup kitchens. But over the years, many middle level volunteers honored by The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards have found meaningful ways to help out over the holidays gestures that ranged from community campaigns to singing carols at a nursing home. Here are a few examples of student projects:
