Resident urges Windsor Locks to add half-time elementary art teacher at North Street School

A resident identified in the minutes as J. Long used the public comment period at the Jan. 10 Windsor Locks Board of Education special meeting to request adding a half-time (.5) elementary art position at North Street School for FY27. The comment was recorded in the minutes under the public comment portion of the FY27 budget workshop.

Board members later listed reviewing "the possibility of adding elementary art back to full-time teachers at both North and South" among the follow-up priorities staff should analyze before the board’s Jan. 22 meeting. The minutes do not record an immediate decision on staffing; board members directed staff to return with cost and implementation information for consideration.
