BRIDGEPORT — A school district that has had to cut millions from its budget proposal for three straight years wants to get the community talking about properly funding the city school system. In the current school year, district officials was budgeted $230.3 million, about $14 million less than it said it needed to run the district at the same level. As a result the district of 21,000 students is making due with 42 fewer employees including two fewer assistant superintendents. Since 2016, the district has eliminated 232 positions, leaving 2,765, including grant funded positions. Also cut were math and reading instructional coaches, the school volunteer office, and cuts to the facilities department and teacher substitutes.
