The Westport Board of Education, after much deliberation on who should pay, approves $40,600 in additional testing on top of $10,000 the first selectman already covered.

We need to thank the First Selectman Gordon Joseloff and Board of Finance Chairman Jeffrey Mayer for attending the meeting and pressing the BOE to pay for these tests.

The evening was extensively covered by Westport Now - you can read their article here. This article also attracted a comment from BOE Chairman Mary Parmelee and a number of reactions to her comment from parents.
