Reform legislation is on its way to the governors desk in CT. It wouldn't have happened with the outstanding reform organization ConnCan.

Three key reforms proposed by ConnCAN would have made Connecticut more competitive in the Race to the Top but were not included in SB 438. Student achievement is not required to be the primary factor in teacher evaluations. There are no consequences attached to teachers whose students don't achieve. We did not address the unsustainable and unequal funding system for our public charter schools.
