GOV. MALLOY, LT. GOV. WYMAN ANNOUNCE EDUCATION TOWN HALL MEETING IN BERLIN

(HARTFORD, CT) - Governor Dannel P. Malloy and Lt. Governor Nancy Wyman today announced that they will hold an education town hall meeting in Berlin on Wednesday, March 28 from 7:00-8:00 p.m. at Catherine M. McGee Middle School (899 Norton Road). Doors will open at 6:15.

The event will be the ninth town hall meeting of the Governor's Education Reform Tour. These community meetings are focused on the topic of education reform and give Governor Malloy and Lt. Governor Wyman an opportunity to meet with all members of the public, including parents, students, teachers, and other concerned residents, for a conversation on proposed reforms to improve the state's public school system. In February, Governor Malloy announced a comprehensive proposal aimed at improving the state's achievement gap, which is the worst in the nation.

Additional locations and dates on the Governor's tour will continue to be added across the state until the legislature approves a bill addressing each of the six principles the Governor outlined in a letter to them in December.
