City and state officials Wednesday praised the approval of $1.08 million in Bond Commission funding, which they said will allow the school district help ensure energy savings, protect the environment, lower the achievement gap and upgrade lighting systems to cost-effective LEDs. In all, $30 million is slated for the state’s 33 Alliance Districts. These monies go to school districts with the lowest Accountability Index measures in the state, according to the state. This grant-in-aid also will pay for improvements to school buildings and allow the installation of touchless sinks in the elementary schools, which will further the safety and health of all during the pandemic. Other Alliance Districts and their grants include: Ansonia, $477,647; Bridgeport, $2 million; Danbury, $1.08 million; East Haven, $477,647; Hamden, $1.08 million; New Haven, $2 million; Norwalk, $1.08 million; Stamford, $2 million; Thompson and Torrington, $477,647 each; and West Haven, $1.8 million.
