Ridgefield residents approved next year’s budget for referendum at the annual town meeting Saturday
without a single question.
According to Cynthia Bruno, the town’s Democratic Registrar of Voters, more than 80 people gathered under a tent at the Richard Venus Complex to hear presentations from the town’s boards regarding their respective budgets for the upcoming year.
Both the Board of Selectmen and Board of Education presented their proposals to attendants and were given the green light to move their spending plans to the May 11 referendum, which was originally scheduled for May 3. Last month, Ridgefield OK’d an amendment to the town charter to give residents more time to vote this year amid the coronavirus pandemic.

RIDGEFIELD Enrollment has been declining at Ridgefield Public Schools for several years, and data shows it is likely to continue through 2022.
The dropoff can be traced to 2015, when 5,052 children attended the schools. Since then, data from the state Department of Education shows the enrollment count has steadily declined each year, leaving 4,556 students in 2021.
This downward trend coincides with a decrease in public school enrollment at the state level. The Connecticut student body has dropped over the last five years, resulting in about 28,700 fewer children in schools statewide since 2015.
