New Milford teachers and residents rallied on the Town Green this week, pushing back against $1.6 million in cuts to the proposed school budget. Many wore red, carried signs, and urged voters to reject the $121 million budget plan at the May 20 town referendum. The Board of Finance approved the cuts last month, triggering pink slips for 62 nontenured teachers. Critics say the plan damages student support, academic programs, and the town’s future. Town officials say it’s too late to change the proposal before the vote.
