​This past Spring we held two virtual meetings to gather your input in response to the following question:
 


"In anticipation of students returning to school, what questions, concerns, and challenges would your school/district need to address prior to school opening regarding classroom-based science instruction and investigations?"

All responses were compiled and included in a letter to the CSDE for their action.  The letter can be found here.  We understand that everything about returning to the classroom has been changing but we are committed to supporting Science education in CT in any way that we can.
