The spending plan approved by the legislature's Appropriations Committee did not include school regionalization.  Ridgefield state Senator Will Haskell says he's been among those lobbying state leaders to drop the idea.  While these proposals were made in an effort to improve the fiscal situation, Haskell says the reality is that forced regionalization risks negatively impacting the classroom experience of students.  He says the spending plan instead invests in all classrooms and fully fund the Education Cost Sharing formula.  Haskell says he will continue to meet with parents, teachers and others to improve public education, maintain local control and invest directly in classrooms.
