Mind the Gaps is ConnCAN’s 2009 legislative campaign, advocating for three commonsense school reforms—funding to grow high-performing public charter schools, teacher quality and education transparency—to help close Connecticut’s achievement gap. In 2009’s tough budget climate, legislators in Hartford must MIND THE GAPS in student achievement.

About ConnCAN

In the tradition of Connecticut’s great advocacy movements—from the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association to Harriet Beecher Stowe and the abolitionists—the Connecticut Coalition for Achievement Now (ConnCAN) is an advocacy organization building a new movement of concerned Connecticut citizens working to create fundamental change in our education system.

ConnCAN is a platform for citizens to effectively voice their concerns. Through public communication, research and policy work, community outreach and legislative advocacy, ConnCAN does the legwork so that Connecticut citizens can effectively speak up for kids.

We will not rest until every child in our state, regardless of race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status, has access to a great public school.
