Governor Malloy has called this upcoming legislative session “The Education Session.”
You can see why. Connecticut has one of the worst achievement gaps in the nation. Students in wealthy, suburban schools do as well - or better - than any in the country.
Students in poor, urban schools, too often perform poorly on tests - drop out of schools at too high a rate - and aren’t prepared for college or work.
Malloy has laid out some plans to reform the schools - and the man he’s picked to accomplish the task is Stefan Pryor.
Pryor comes the very successful Amistad Academy and the charter school company Achievement First, which operates schools in Connecticut and New York.
Today, Pryor will answer your questions about school funding, early childhood education, teacher quality, and his own role in the charter school movement.
