Connecticut's young people are our future teachers, doctors, music instructors and so much more. It's our duty to ensure that even during difficult times, our youth have access to resources, materials and most of all support -- during this crisis and beyond.

Go @ICMYGoals!

Thousands of young people are in need of support and opportunity - especially now. We are proud to be working towards a pathway that leads them to longterm success.

What a pleasure to meet by zoom Mary Anne Schmidt Carey, the new exec! Looking forward to working with a former New Yorker! Partnership for Connecticut CABE

It's about more than just providing tools and resources to keep students on track for their high school graduation. It's about working to combat the inherent educational inequity that blocks many from reaching their full potential.

Today's thugaim has the latest "Learn From Home Report," an update from the Learn From Home Task Force who are distributing the 60,000 laptops to high school students in need across CT. bit.ly/3bUv5iA

"The LFHT has implemented a tiered shipment plan for the 60,000 devices in three rounds of delivery based on a thoughtful, formula-based approach that prioritizes equity, student need, and safe distribution." - thugaim bit.ly/3bUv5iA

"to maximize the number of districts (19) receiving laptops - which are currently being built to arrive ready for immediate use - the first round of shipment will be devoted to shipping sites where fewer than 60 percent of students have 1:1 device access at the school level."

"About 17,000 laptops will arrive in low-performing school districts next month to assist Connecticut students who have moved to online learning since schools closed in March." - Hartford Courant bit.ly/2xZzodH

While #TeacherAppreciationWeek feels a bit different this year, our teachers deserve our support more than ever. They are the bridge that connects students to success and they help change the lives of Connecticut youth each day.

#BREAKING: Due to the ongoing pandemic, in-person classes at K-12 schools in Connecticut will remain canceled for the rest of the academic year. Given the circumstances, this is the best course of action for the safety of students, educators, and staff. bit.ly/2WoBw6Q

Learning from home can be tough. Teachers and parents, share your #tips with us for keeping students focused and engaged! #TeacherAppreciationDay

As we work towards equitable education in Connecticut, teachers are some of our biggest and most important partners. Without them, even more students would fall through the cracks. #TeacherAppreciationWeek

Getting adequate resources to students is one of the many ways we can help teachers make learning more equitable. Teachers, if you could ask for anything for your students, what would it be and why?

Please see the statements attached from our leadership on the status of this partnership.
