| Interview with Lauren Rosato |
|
"I believe the school district has the capacity to close the achievement gap, I think the school district has the ability to be the model public education system in the nation...I don't say that lightly. We're not that large, we have a good mix of students and we sit in Fairfield County where there are resources. With the right leadership and the right BOE that can happen." |
