Stamford Reps again nix funds for plan to privatize school buildings

Members of the Board of Representatives Monday night voted to reject an appropriation of $250,000 to hire a consultant to evaluate proposals from developers interested in becoming the city’s private partner. Representatives reiterated their skepticism about the privatization plan, which would turn over 1 million square feet of school space – a third of the city’s total – to a developer for decades. The plan, created by Lucero and former Director of Administration Michael Handler last year, would demolish three elementary schools – Hart, Roxbury and Toquam – plus Cloonan Middle School and Westhill High School.
