New Haven Public School Advocates

What are our strategies to address the 42% of NHPS students who are chronically absent? Please join the Education Committee of the New Haven Board of Alders this Thursday @ 6PM.

📢📢📢📢 THIS WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 30 @ 6PM
Superintendent is one of the most pivotal roles in our city. The Board of Alders’ Education Committee will hold a workshop to ask: What have we learned from previous searches? What steps should we take to identify the best leader for our New Haven Public Schools? You are invited to hear plans from our Board of Ed, learn about best practices from other CT cities, and share your ideas.

“Why do you spend all this time running for the United States Senate — why do you go through all the hassle of getting this job, of putting yourself in a position of authority — if your answer is that as this slaughter increases, as our kids run for their lives, we do nothing?”
