Good morning, Norwalk.

Norwalk Public Schools have already cut millions but still need to cut or supplement $6.7 million, and they will consolidate 10 central office positions into three roles (a net loss of 7 jobs) to meet the budget gap.

The district is talking with state and city officials for extra funding while some parents worry the cuts will reduce special education resources.

A proposed seven-day carnival to support the Black Heritage Parade is moving forward after the Norwalk Common Council voted to approve it, even though East Norwalk residents have raised concerns about noise, traffic, and the organizer's permit details.

The event is set for June 18 to 24 at Veterans Memorial Park with operations planned from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day except on June 24 when it ends at noon, and local residents said they will continue to monitor the situation.

Norwalk officials have updated the city's Agenda and Minutes portal to include meeting documents on community input for improvement districts, grant competitions, and new city appointments — residents can review the details to stay informed on public projects and policy changes — the portal serves as a hub for current city actions and upcoming meetings.
