Amid enrollment declines, an update on CT public school education

Connecticut is facing a historic decline in public school enrollment, with enrollment dropping below half a million for the first time in two decades. This effect is especially pronounced in Hartford, which saw a 5% decline in student enrollment amid a $45 million dollar school deficit. Now, city officials are looking to bring students back — and decrease the deficit. Later on, we’ll hear from the Connecticut Education Association on the effects of federal cuts and the current legislative education committee hearings.
