Carlos Torre, professor of education (Curriculum and Learning) at Southern Connecticut State University and former president of the New Haven Board of Education, authored an opinion piece for the New Haven Independent examining the history of New Haven’s school construction program and the long-term responsibility of maintaining the city’s public schools.
“A school reconstructed ‘as new’ does not remain new forever,” Torre writes. “That is why rebuilding schools was never, and could never have been, the end of our responsibility.”
