Danbury considers using shuttered Brookfield school for kindergarteners

The Danbury Board of Education is considering a lease of a former school in Brookfield in order to accommodate all students for in-person learning in the fall.  A workshop will be planned to discuss the use of St. Joseph Catholic Academy in Brookfield for at least 200 kindergarten students in 11 classes.  The school closed last year due to declining enrollment and is currently being used as the town's COVID-19 vaccine clinic.  Danbury could tap federal pandemic relief money to cover some of the reopening costs, including the lease and furniture.  5 school buses, more staffing and supplies would also be needed.  Current guidance calls for students to be seated at least 3 feet apart.
