Happy Labor Day?

Sep 2, 2022 Stephen Krauchick

#Bridgeport CT-- For the last two years, the Bridgeport Fire Department has been serving the community without a contract and Bridgeport Police for over a year. As a citizen, do you find this satisfactory? I ran into council members Ernie Newton and Jorge Cruz, Sr. to get some insight into the delays. I couldn't get any details on the specifics like what is an unrealistic contract but I'm certain the two-year delay is working in their favor as this year's high inflation will enter the negotiations. Fairfield Firefighters have also been without a contract for over a year. Let's honor our first responders and get them a contract! https://youtu.be/If9QILneCuE

Bridgeport News: Schools At Half Day

Aug 30, 2022 Stephen Krauchick

Good Afternoon Bridgeport Public Schools Community, I understand the decision to operate a half day schedule for the remainder of the week has caused challenges for some families. Many of our schools recorded classroom temperatures over 90 degrees yesterday with the forecast calling for even higher temperatures over the next few days. The district team made the decision to mitigate placing students and staff in a potentially dangerous environment. The weather we are currently experiencing is not typical for this time of the year which made planning impossible. I ask for your patience and cooperation as we do the very best to provide a healthy and safe teaching and learning environment for everyone. Sincerely, Michael J.
