Is Dual Language Magnetic?
Many People in the Community Seem to Think So
Achieve Hartford! Executive Director Paul Holzer and Sheff Movement Co-Chair Jim Boucher in a Q&A.
Leaders of theSheff movement coalition, faith-based and other communities, the Hartford Board of Education, and higher education researchers gathered with school reform advocates this past weekend to examine how a new regional magnet school could bring together English- and Spanish-speaking students for dual language learning.

Not So Much Public at the Hearing
Surprisingly Low Attendance All Around
Compared to past years, the Board of Education's annual public hearing on the budget Tuesday evening brought a barely audible murmur: Representatives from just one school among nearly 50 in the District took the microphone - and the meeting ended before some people could get there! Does this mean the budget is about as good as it gets in this leanest of years . . . or did we just get a signal about sparse stakeholder engagement?
The Hartford Board of Education Special Meeting on the adoption of the budget will be Wednesday, May 1, 2013, 5:30 p.m., at McDonough Expeditionary Learning Academy, 111 Hillside Avenue.
