DeVos invited to visit CT school district

Almost two years ago, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos was speaking to a congressional panel when she singled out East Hartford as one of the nation’s failing school systems. She told the story of Michael, a student who she said received little support from teachers and administrators. DeVos quoted Michael, who graduated from East Hartford High School in 2000, saying he described the school system as “nothing more than adult day care … a dangerous day care.” The remarks infuriated East Hartford educators and many of the state’s elected officials, who said the characterization of the schools was not accurate.
