In light of needed repairs that could total more than $100 million over as many as 15 years at Wilton’s public schools, the town’s newly sworn-in first selectwoman advised caution in moving forward with funding. Wilton needs all hands on deck to move forward with the logistics of the school and municipal improvements, Boucher said. The needs for the school buildings, which have an average age of 60 years, were presented in November, with different projects categorized as priority levels 1, 2 and 3 within a 10-year plan. Lynne Vanderslice, the town’s former first selectwoman, said the timeline would likely be drawn out further. Two outstanding issues regarding the proposed improvement funds are which repairs would go toward a Board of Education budget or a municipal budget, said Frank Smeriglio, Wilton’s director of public works and town engineer.
