Lessons From Ludlowe McKinley Merger Show Cooperation
In 1995 a plan to combine an elementary and middle school failed, but mold forced McKinley Elementary to share Ludlowe in 2001. The arrangement, though imperfect, proved workable with shared resources, joint programs, and protective older students guiding younger ones. The piece argues for rebuilding McKinley into its own building while praising cooperation as a model for district challenges.

Senior golfers protest governance shifts over Fairfield courses
In 1971 a Golf Commission with custody of Fairfield golf courses aimed to preserve recreation and conservation for residents. By 1995 Audley proposed putting courses under Parks and Recreation, a move resisted by the Golf Commission. Since 1996 senior ticket sales collapsed 50 percent by 2001, cart fees rose, and resident discounts vanished as non-residents gained access. critics blame multiple town bodies for back door taxation and lack of cost justification.
