The Board of Education has approved an operating budget that exceeds the initial proposal, ensuring the reinstatement of free lunches and additional office staff for schools. This decision marks a significant step in addressing the needs of students and enhancing the educational environment within the district.
The revised budget reflects a commitment to providing essential services that support student well-being and academic success. By reinstating free lunch programs, the board aims to alleviate financial burdens on families and ensure that all students have access to nutritious meals during the school day.

The board's decision underscores a dedication to fostering an inclusive and supportive educational atmosphere for all students in Stamford.
