Easton Faces Budget Strains Over School Growth and Cuts
Easton residents confront ongoing school funding pressure after last month budget votes. The Board trimmed over 1 million from the 2002 03 plan and architects work to reduce an initial 36 million elementary school project on Morehouse Road. With a largely residential tax base, taxes are set to rise about 8 percent this year as programs and construction budgets shrink.

Ali Facella, a Fairfield High School junior, joins about 150 teen volunteers at the two screen Community Theatre, where a $3 ticket keeps films affordable and volunteers handle box office and concessions. Foundation president Leo Redgate credits volunteers for 97 percent of staff and breakeven finances, with plans for live entertainment and a film school.
