Public hearing held in Danbury on proposed school projects

Only two people spoke during last night's public hearing in Danbury about combining bonding for various school projects into one question for an upcoming referendum.  Mayor Dean Esposito and Board of Ed Chairman Rachel Chaleski were both in favor of the nearly $208 million.  The City Council will likely set the date of the referendum at their meeting next week. Most of the bonding is for the proposed middle and high school career academy proposed for the Cartus headquarters property.  The legislature previously approved 80-percent reimbursement on eligible costs for the estimated $99 million.  Lawmakers are pushing their colleagues to provide the same rate on the newly estimated $164 million cost.  As for the other school projects, eligible costs are typically reimbursed at around 60 to 63 percent.
