NORWICH – The Norwich City School District reported updates to the 2020 budget at the board of education meeting Tuesday night.

The school is currently facing a $600,000 shortfall for the year. Interim Superintendent Diana Bowers stated she is hoping the senate goes back into session in order to pass a bill that would open up $850,000 in building aid.

"We're just keeping our fingers crossed that there's a point in time where the senate and assembly goes back into session. One of the things that we're looking at is the accelerated building aid which is the $850,000, which is presently sitting on the floor of the senate and assembly, to hopefully pass," said Bowers.

In the mean time, Bowers is hoping to see additional aid for the school now that they've submitted an updated RWADA report.
