Candelora: Bipartisan cooperation is necessary

Mary Daugherty Abrams is applauded after winning the Democratic primary for the 13th Senate seat Tuesday night in Meriden, Aug. 14, 2018. Left to right are, state Rep. Hilda Santiago, Mary Daugherty Abrams, City Councilor Sonya Jelks and Board of Education member, Pam Bahre.

The Jan. 9 start of the legislative session will see a dramatic shift in power dynamics. Democrats, currently tied in the Senate, will have a 23-13 majority in the chamber, and will grow their current 79-72 margin to a 92-59 majority in the House. The tied Senate and tight House forced more bipartisan Candelora cooperation over the last two years, most notably on the budget. State Rep. Vincent Candelora, RNorth Branford, said Democrats should strive to continue that cooperation going forward.

23-13 lead in the Senate and 92-59 lead in the House beginning in January.

Democrats saw Republicans chip away at their state legislative majorities for the better part of a decade, going from a veto-proof majority in each chamber in 2008 to a tied Senate and slim seven-seat lead in the House in 2016.

Rep. Cathy Abercrombie and Senatorelect Mary Daugherty Abrams, both Meriden Democrats, said the results show voters were attracted to the party’s message.

This past November saw a significant reversal, with Democrats now holding a

RSD13 school board to talk reconfiguration options By Bailey Wright Record-Journal staff

The Board of Education is expected to vote next week on the future of Regional School District 13’s grade configuration. The vote is expected at a Jan. 9 meeting, when the board will discuss the final results of its most recent survey to residents before making a decision on how to structure grades.

The survey asked residents to choose between the board’s final two options: one building track for all, with kindergarten through second grade in Brewster School and third through fifth grade in Memorial School; or two elementary schools, with grades kindergarten through fifth in both Brewster and Memorial schools. In both options, Strong Middle School would remain the

same, housing sixth through eighth grades, and Coginchaug Regional High School with ninth through 12th grades. Neither option includes Lyman School, which was deemed the most logical choice for closure due to the building’s conditions. “We have a system in this district that has included a two program design that has worked for many years,” Superintendent of Schools See Schools, A2

Kathryn Veronesi said during a December meeting. She said the current twoprogram structure “has worked for many years,” but a challenge of more efficiently using resources “towards student experience and student outcomes has made us look at” reconfiguration. Regardless of which configuration is chosen, the board voted in December to continue with the pursuit of a unified curriculum but still needs to identify exactly

“I think the biggest benefit comes out of having a single (program) is that it takes advantage of the best programs that the school can offer,” board chairman Bob Moore said Monday.

ings and at board meetings, there were particular kinds of approaches and programmatic design elements that were identified as “very, very important to the history and the future” of the district, which the board hopes to include moving forward.

He said advantages to a single curriculum include improvements to existing programs, unified schedules for teachers, and the opportunity to have more interaction between students of different ages.

Part of the next steps after next Wednesday’s vote will be developing a Portrait of the Graduate Work, or guarantee, which will outline the skills, knowledge and dispositions students are “guaranteed” to have when they graduate Coginchaug High School.

Veronesi said in the strategic visioning committee meet-

“This work is somewhat similar to the strategic coher-

ence work that we did, in that there are a number of stakeholders throughout the district and in the community that are able to kind of give their feedback using the work that we did in the strategic visioning process as a framework,” Veronesi said at December's board meeting.

Parents of children living in Durham and Middlefield, who will be 5 years old on or before Jan. 1, 2020, must register them to attend kindergarten in September 2019 or apply for a waiver of attendance. In Regional School District 13, children may at-

He expressed hope that Gov.-elect Ned Lamont, also a Democrat, will make good on his early promises to work collaboratively, and also credited House Speaker Joe Aresimowicz, D-Berlin, with being more inclusive.

Abercrombie is concerned that the state has already extracted all available savings from human services. She supports shifting more services to private nonprofits, but also said the state needs to look at increasing funding for nonprofits because low pay has resulted in significant turnover. “We can’t keep asking them to do more and not pay for it,” she said.
