With new federal data showing continued, middle-of-the-pack performance by Connecticut schools, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy found the middle ground among competing interests for a landmark education law.

For once, teachers were not front and center in the debate.

HARTFORD—In a sweeping education deal with lawmakers and teacher unions here, Gov. Dannel Malloy gave ground on some of his farthest-reaching proposals but contended the compromise was still a historic overhaul of public-school policy in a state that has proved resistant to change.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said Monday night that his administration and lawmakers had reached an agreement on "meaningful education reform" — an agreement that he said adds nearly $100 million in new education spending and will help the state regain its competitive edge.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and Democratic legislative leaders celebrated what they called an “historic” agreement on a sweeping education reform proposal that believe will help Connecticut erase its largest-in-the-nation achievement gap.

At a 10 p.m. press conference, Malloy told a packed room of reformers and leaders of at least one of the state’s teacher unions that the bill the Senate is expected to take up later this evening is just a beginning.

The Hanging Shad

Say this for Gov. Dannel Malloy, love his policies or hate them, he has largely gotten what he wants in his first year and a half in office. He pushed through the largest tax increase in state history after inheriting a $3 billion-plus disaster of a state budget; he was able to wring desperately needed concessions out of the state employee unions (after first failing); he instituted the “First Five” job-creation program; and won hard-fought approval for the Jackson Labs economic development project..

Thank you for 'Voting for Ed'

Dear EdHeads, 

When I launched my campaign for governor on July 14, I asked you to join me in “putting education back where it belongs: at the top of the agenda.”

Now that the campaign season is over, I wanted to take a moment to take stock of everything we accomplished together through the Vote for Ed campaign:

  • ON THE RECORD. You told the candidates you needed to hear about their plans for our public schools, and they heard you. Never before has a Connecticut gubernatorial contest seen such robust education platforms and clear statements across all the key elements of fundamental education reform.

  • DEBATING THE ISSUES. We hosted a Gubernatorial Candidates’ Forum on Public Education – the first multi-candidate gubernatorial forum of the general election season – in which the candidates shared their plans for closing Connecticut’s worst-in-the-nation achievement gap and debated who would be Connecticut’s best “education governor.” Watch the video here.

  • RALLYING FOR CHANGE. We got the word out about voting for education reform with yard signs, bumper magnets, and buttons, and even got a celebrity endorsement from Maury Povich! Watch Maury’s endorsement here.

  • A NOT-SO-SILENT MAJORITY. We released a public opinion survey on Connecticut voters’ sentiments toward public education reform – and found that you, the voters of Connecticut, are overwhelmingly in support of fundamental education reforms. We showed that Connecticut is ready for bold leadership on these issues. Read the results here.

Thank you for asking candidates the hard questions and demanding a new direction for our state. Together, we have taken a significant step forward in making sure that demographics no longer have to be destiny for Connecticut’s children. My team at ConnCAN and I will not rest until we make good on this promise.

-Ed
