“The status quo isn’t working.” Sen. Harding Statement on U.S. Department of Education

Sen. Stephen Harding issued the following statement regarding the U.S. Department of Education:

“Once again, Democrat politicians in one-party rule CT continue to rush to a microphone to defend a broken education system.

The status quo isn’t working.

An illiterate student just graduated from Hartford High.

Chronic absenteeism in Bridgeport schools is nearly 30 %.

We don’t need the status quo.

We need reforms which support educators, maximize student achievement, and respect the role of parents.

The education system in our state has failed far too many, and our children deserve far better than business as usual.”
