2019 Board of Education Forum Recap

On Sept. 24, at 7 p.m., a Board of Education Forum was conducted in the Granby Memorial High School Auditorium by Mr. Dombrowski’s Honors Civics Class.

Keeping Granby fiscally strong

During my recent office hours, an attendee asked whether the fiscal planning work contemplates enough negative impact from the state aid reductions and cost shifting. This individual was the only one to show at either of the two office sessions that were held who isn’t a candidate nor is politically connected.

TOWN OF GRANBY BOARD OF EDUCATION MINUTES

The district participated in Sandy Hook Promise Safety and Assessment and Intervention (SAI) training. SAI is a national evidenced-based violence prevention program which establishes and trains multidisciplinary teams/school safety teams within schools to identify, assess and respond to threats of violence.

FOGPL Book Sale success

The 37th Annual Used Book Sale held in September resulted in our most successful one yet with over $13,100 raised by the Friends of the Granby Public Library. Nothing like a nice sunny weekend to draw a crowd.

Prepare to Vote

Election Day is almost here. As Nov. 5 approaches we, along with other Connecticut registrars, want to make sure you’re registered to vote and able to easily and successfully cast your ballot.

Correction

In our September issue, a photo caption of the 10U baseball team stated that the team captured its first District title in 27 years. In fact, Granby did capture a District title in 2013.
