📰 News we're reading

• Granby Picks Firm To Study Shared Town, School Services (patch.com) — Granby leaders have hired consulting firm CliftonLarsonAllen to study whether the town government and school district can share more administrative services, from HR and finance to facilities and software systems. The review, which builds on existing shared IT and police resource arrangements, is expected to guide potential changes in future budgets and will also align with a separate energy-efficiency study of town and school buildings.
