Original Message Though I don't yet understand why it seemed so grungy and run-down, here are a few reasons I think logic dictates SH(E)S was a working school.

In 2004, a guy was charged w/three felonies, including having pot within 1500 feet of Sandy Hook School:

In 2007, parents successfully sued the State of CT (BOE) over problems with their child's education at SHS for the years 2004-2005 and 2005-2006:

There are endless policy/budget wars publicized in the NewsTimes regarding SHS and other area schools--this one's 2004:

And of course ct.gov itself has endless refs to the school--this is a 2004 Plan of Conservation & Development for Newtown (school mentioned on p. 62):

Endless school budgets:

Bus routes have been published for Newtown and all the ones I've found include 12 Dickenson Drive. I'll try to find those (they always elude me) but would be intrigued by others' observations. I still can't figure out why the school was so dingy; but it sure seems to have been in use, best I can tell.
