| | No sale: $400,000 furlough (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) |
 | | A two-day townwide furlough, an idea that would save more than $400,000, is considered a dead issue by town and school officials. |
 | | It appears the furlough - shutting down the non-essential town departments and the school department for two days when kids are not in school - would have saved $364,000 for the school department and $55,000 more in town-department salaries. |
 | | The superintendent maintains the school department always said it would pursue a furlough only if other town departments joined it, but other officials disagree, saying they never heard such a condition until after she withdrew her proposal (see sidebar, page 2). |
