FAIRFIELD An automated air system and new bathrooms at Fairfield Ludlowe High School and a new roof at Burr Elementary School all cleared their first funding hurdle this week.
The selectmen unanimously approved bonding $1.75 million for an automation system upgrade at Fairfield Ludlowe High School and bonding about $3.65 million for the other two projects.
The finance board and Representative Town Meeting must also approve the schools’ request.
“We’ve been having some catastrophic failures in the Ludloew building,” said Angelus Papageorge, the schools executive director of operations.

Bernard is in the final year of his second two-year term as mayor in the city of around 13,000.
