Protect Connecticut's Teaching Workforce

Connecticut has spent a decade building a stronger, more diverse teaching workforce. Now, outdated layoff policies threaten to erase that progress. You can help protect the teachers our students need most.

Tell Connecticut lawmakers to modernize teacher layoff policies.

When budget cuts are unavoidable, districts should consider multiple factors—including teacher effectiveness, critical shortage areas, high-need schools, and years of service—so that no single measure determines which teachers stay and which go. Join us in urging lawmakers to introduce and sponsor legislation that modernizes layoff policies statewide before we lose the effective educators our students depend on.
