Please note: This will be similar to the state budget forums Gov. Malloy held last year. During those he spoke for the majority of the hour long events, leaving time for only a few questions. We encourage members to turn out for these events. AFT Connecticut will be on hand with stickers, banners, flags and signs for members to show solidarity.

AFT CT (American Federation of Teachers Connecticut) is committed to improving the quality of education for every child in the state. Education reform issues like teacher tenure, teacher certification, teacher evaluations, early childhood education, charter schools, school funding and more need input from all educators. PreK-12 teachers, paraprofessionals and school related personnel are working every day to improve learning and help students to grow. From urban schools in Connecticut, such as Hartford, New Britain, New Haven and Meriden, to suburban schools, such as, Bloomfield, Simsbury and Waterford,  to regional school districts, our members are working to provide quality education.
