A five-year comprehensive plan was adopted by the committee in
January, 2007. The plan centers on high school reform and ensures the
graduation of all students prepared for the global marketplace.
Public Forums
The Connecticut State Department of Education will be holding
public forums around the state to present and get input on the new high school
reform plan. It is important that parents and educators attend these forums and
offer their opinions and feedback. No matter what age your child is these
reforms will effect them!
