📰 News we're reading

• Fairfield Public School Students Eligible For Free Breakfasts: Superintendent (patch.com) — Fairfield Public School students will receive free breakfasts every school day this year, thanks to new state funding included in Connecticut's budget. The universal program, which doesn't depend on family income, aims to boost student health and classroom focus, while regular lunch charges and eligibility rules remain unchanged.
   

• Connecticut residents wage legal fight against state's IQ requirements for disability services (ctpost.com) — A Fairfield 19-year-old with an intellectual disability is one of four young adults suing Connecticut over its strict IQ cutoff for state disability services, arguing it wrongly denies needed support.
