School District - Connecticut State Department Of Education: Fill & Download for Free

Public schools in the United States are required to provide transportation to and from the school for students who need it. In most places, this is done with buses. However, in Chicago, this is done with a student card for free/reduced fares on public transportation.This is one of the things that the federal Department of Education helps out with funding. If a school district can’t afford buses, the federal government will help them out.

I’ll note a positive reaction and a negative one, both from sources I respect:American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten and AFT Connecticut President Jan Hochadel issued the following statement after President-elect Joe Biden nominated Miguel A. Cardona to be the next U.S. secretary of education:The AFT’s Weingarten said: “Miguel Cardona is not just a proud product of public schools—he’s made strengthening public education and fighting for equity his life’s work. With his experience as a student, fourth-grade teacher, principal, assistant superintendent and commissioner in Connecticut, Dr. Cardona—a former AFT member—will transform the Education Department to help students thrive, a reversal of the DeVos disaster of the last four years.“But Dr. Cardona, whose family moved from Puerto Rico, won’t just repair the damage done—he’ll act to fulfill the promise and potential of public education and higher education as an opportunity agent for all students, regardless of demography or geography, knowing full well that doesn’t happen without resources and a deep respect for educators.“His commitment to public education, to our students and to listening to and respecting the wisdom of educators will be crucial as the Biden administration helps school districts across America meet the social, emotional and instructional needs of students and moves to safely, responsibly and equitably reopen school buildings.“I worked closely with Dr. Cardona during his time in the Meriden, Conn., school district. If you want an example of how labor and management can come together to improve learning and student achievement, you need only look at Meriden. His deep respect for educators and their unions will travel with him to Washington—and that commitment to collaboration is crucial to providing the resources and social and emotional supports to safely reopen schools.“There is great potential for a renaissance in public education after years and years of the school wars. That is the hope that Dr. Cardona, with Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Dr. Jill Biden at his side, represents. The Department of Education is the primary vehicle by which the Biden-Harris administration can engage educators, parents, and legislators and administrators at every level. It can lift up great practices and strategies. Instead of promoting competition, it can foster cooperation; instead of destabilizing, it can help American schools recover and grow. Instead of dividing, it can help students of all diverse backgrounds grow and thrive.“And, in higher education, it can address the student loan crisis and strengthen colleges and universities—especially HBCUs and minority-serving institutions.“From day one, educators will have a trusted partner in Dr. Cardona, and I couldn’t be more excited to get started.”Source: AFT on Nomination of Dr. Miguel Cardona as Education SecretaryA detailed article at What to Know About Miguel Cardona, Biden’s Pick for Education Secretary - EdSurge News notes many positive aspects.The problematic issue that I see is that some are concerned about his views on school reopening. From another source:As leader of Connecticut’s 530,000-student K-12 education system, Cardona has encouraged schools to open for in-person learning during the coronavirus pandemic. But, unlike some schools chiefs in other states, he has not sought to mandate in-person instruction, and he has acknowledged that local circumstances vary.“We all know remote learning will never replace the classroom experience,” Cardona wrote in a November opinion piece published in the Connecticut Mirror. “We also know that the health and safety of our students, staff, and their families must be the primary consideration when making decisions about school operations. The two are not mutually exclusive.”Cardona released a video in November to encourage school reopenings with precautions like face masks, saying that state data had tracked the transmission of many COVID-19 cases detected in schools to out-of-school settings.The state’s education department also created a public dashboard to report coronavirus cases identified in schools. And it held virtual town halls for parents and virtual trainings in remote instruction for teachers.He has faced some opposition to his push from teachers who are concerned about the risks of returning to the classroom. But some education groups have also praised his approach as thoughtful.Source: Where Biden's Choice for Education Secretary Stands on Key K-12 IssuesMy view is that Dr. Cardona has a strong background on education and public administration, and will be a major upgrade in the role of Secretary of Education. I’m sure there will be individual issues where he will be subject to criticism of varying degrees of merit. I support the selection.
