Senator Thomas Gaffey, Education Committee Co-Chair and Representative Andrew Fleischmann, Education Committee Co-Chair are hosting a forum, “Raising the Bar for High School Graduation in Connecticut: A Good Idea?” on
October 7th from 3:00-5:30 at the Legislative Office Building.
The Commissioner of Education has proposed an increase in graduation requirements to take effect in 2011. Because the reasons for the proposal are important, as are the potential ramifications for school districts, students, families, teachers, taxpayers and communities, the Citizens Network of the Capital Region, a non-profit, non-partisan organization is encouraging public discussion of the proposal.
