SERC facilitated a Connecticut State Department of Education Community Forum in January 2025 entitled, “A Discussion About Education: The Past, the Present, the Future.”

Held at Windsor High School, the lively collaborative event was hosted by Connecticut Senate Chair of Education Sen. Douglas McCrory and Commissioner of Education Charlene M. Russell-Tucker and moderated by SERC Executive Director Dr. Ingrid M. Canady.

The forum’s expected goals were:

• To engage community members in conversations and reflections about the evolution and history of education in the United States.
• To hear from the hosts regarding the current landscape and priorities for Connecticut students.
• To engage community members in conversations about their insights regarding the future of Connecticut’s education.
