I was thinking of Williamson county when I mentioned it, where the median income is ~92k. More than west Hartford and less than Avon. A nice home will cost about 200k less and property taxes will be 2k vs 10-13k per year. 200k less than Avon for a house puts you in southington (3-400k vs 5-600k). Williamson county schools are on par with the Avon and glastonburys, they just cost you the southingtons and Berlins)

That would be a tremendous choice for you IMO. Franklin is awesome. Mix of historic stuff and 21st century culture in one. A reasonably short commute to Nashville and Vanderbilt.

Meanwhile Greenwich is trying to build a $37M magnet school that parents in other districts have no interest in sending their kids too. Then they act surprised, "shocked," that the state is backing out of funding 80% of it for them in this economic climate.

Interesting Greenwich a 80% white (and high income) town has internal redistricting issues.

For the folks in Riverside/OG/North Mianus who paid 2m+ to get into that district I would be upset to. Those parents aren't going to send their kids across town to Byram when they paid for Riverside, etc.

This school is the town's answer to State mandated racial balancing of schools within the town. I don't blame the town for being angry if the state won't provide the funds to build it. Without the school, the town may be forced to bus students around town and NO ONE wants that. In case you do not know, the law requires that towns balance their schools racially when one school has 25 or more percent students that are a minority. It has nothing to do with the quality of the education that the school provides. It could be the best performing school in town but if there are 25% more minorities in it than other schools, the state says it must be racially rebalanced. This is the stupidest law I have seen. It kind of makes the assumption that minority students do not perform well and that minorities want to be in schools that have more white students. All are basically false assumptions. Why should students be forced to be bussed across town when there is a school right near there home? It does no one any good. I hope Greenwich takes the state to court over this one because someone needs to change. Jay
