It was a pleasure listening to World Languages Supervisor Jessica Haxhi interview SCSU men's basketball coach Scott Burrell about the commonalities between coaching and teaching successfully. In addition to his coaching, Mr. Burrell was a standout collegiate athlete for UCONN basketball and had an eight-year NBA and international career, famously winning a championship with the 1997–98 Chicago Bulls.

Earlier this year, Governor Ned Lamont established the Blue-Ribbon Commission on K-12 Education Funding and
Accountability by executive order to examine the landscape of educational funding in Connecticut and develop a
strategic plan with recommendations that address student needs and improve student outcomes. The Commission
includes representatives of boards of education, town government (including New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker), district administrators, state agencies, the
legislature, teachers, state and national education funding experts, special education directors, regional education
service centers, Alliance Districts, and parents.
In addition to perspectives and ideas from Commission members, the Commission wants to hear directly from the
community: parents and caregivers, students, school staff, and all Connecticut residents.
To share your ideas on school funding and the use of resources to support students:
● Take 5 minutes to fill out the Blue-Ribbon Commission on K-12 Funding and Accountability Public Survey:
bit.ly/BlueRibbonPublicSurvey
● Join a virtual Listening Session — sessions will be held throughout the Commission's work. Please visit the
CT Commission website for upcoming dates and registration information: [Website Link]
