Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

Senator Malloy knows that educating our children is the single most important thing that we undertake. Senator Malloy knows that the fight to improve our public schools has to continue. He will again be at the forefront of the charge to remake our schools into safe, enriching learning environments so that all of our children will have access to a high quality education no matter what zip code or neighborhood that they come from.

During the upcoming education debate Senator Malloy will be focused on: Expanding the Read to Succeed program so that all children have access, and making sure that the program is fully funded. Improving teacher pay so that we can recruit and retain more qualified teachers - particularly in rural areas. Allowing school districts to move to a "year round' school calendar so that children can better retain what they learn from school year to school year. Expanding broadband access to every corner of the State. Too many of our children, particularly those in rural areas - do not have access to broadband. Those children deserve the same educational opportunities as all other children and broadband access is a key component to giving them equal scholastic opportunities.
