In 2024, ConnCAN continued to work to create more educational opportunities for students across our state. In 2024, we accomplished the following wins:
ConnCAN modernized the educator certification process in Connecticut by establishing in law a New Teacher Track committee that will take out old and counterproductive regulations while considering other alternative pathways for certification outside the traditional route.
ConnCAN fully implemented the Multilingual Learner Bill of Rights, passed last year, with the Department of Education issuing guidelines for schools and a set of tools to help them adhere to the new legislation.
ConnCAN worked to clarify school funding allocations for agricultural and vocational-technical schools by passing legislation that ensures these schools will receive clear financials from the Department of Education on how much money they will receive per student.
We look forward to making even further progress in the new year. Stay tuned–we’ll be sharing our legislative goals in early 2025.
