Let's also not forget the $1 million football practice field they put in a couple years ago. On top of it, the timer for those big HID lights for on the new practice field was broken for about 4 months and they were on 24 hours/day. Can only imagine the cost of leaving 50 1000W lights on for that long equated to. |

Those lights have been on since the fields were built. A total watse of $$ and I have complained several times.
Don't believe the hype about laying off teachers. It's happens every year and I have been here 25 years. Maybe one more override will do it. lol
Nothing but the best for the town. Best trucks, best town hall, best water dept. garage. best everything.
And don't forget millions wasted on lawyers to defend the town manager.
Still.....I love this town |

It's already been confirmed that he's losing his job. The school administration had a meeting either today or yesterday about what jobs are going to be cut.
I can't wait D'Agostino to be gone, btw.

Yes I do and congrats to both of you. There's a great group of students at the high school because the town has a great group of very involved parents. My son was involved at the middle school level with another great teacher . John Ford. |

I only know John Ford from when he was teaching in the elementary school. He was an incredible source in inspiration to the kids and they always had fun and enjoyed what they were doing. |

Remember they put down the turf because the field was being used too much to maintain sod.
The upper fields and the field over by 106 are all clay those things are wet 90 pct of the time.
Why couldn't they just turn the damn things off manually thats municpal thinking to leave them on |
