Remote Learning Commission Report  Pursuant to Section 387 of Public Act 21-2, June Special Session (JSS), the Connecticut State Department of Education established the Connecticut Remote Learning Commission to analyze and provide recommendations concerning the provision of remote learning to public school students enrolled in grades kindergarten to 12.  The Commission as a whole compiled all information into one report to guide future discussion. Attached please find a copy of the Commission’s final report that was submitted to the Connecticut General Assembly.  If you have any questions, please contact Chief Academic Officer Irene Parisi at Irene.parisi@ct.gov.
