Lamont pledges his school regionalization plan is all about carrots, not sticks

WESTON — Gov. Ned Lamont emerged from a closed door meeting with a dozen Fairfield County municipal leaders on Tuesday, pledging that he is not out to force on anyone his plans for regionalization of some school operations. “I am a believer of shared services but my plan uses ... a carrot, not a stick,” Lamont insisted. “I am not using anything to force any of the folks here to give up local control they have over their own schools.” The bipartisan group of first selectmen — and some school superintendents — seemed happy to just have had an audience with a governor who heard them out. “We didn’t agree on everything,” Darien First Selectman Jayme Stevenson, a Republican, said.
