Stamford Schools Ends AFB Contract

STAMFORD, CT — For the first time in nearly 20 years the city school system will have a new facility management company.

The Board of Education voted 7-0 to award a new contract to ABM, a large company with thousands of clients, according to the Stamford Advocate.
