A Connecticut High School Student Testifies in Support of the Governor’s Education Bill

Edwin Rosales is a Junior at Norwalk High School. At last week's public hearings, as various parties spoke up to voice their opinions about the Governor's Proposed Bill, Edwin's testimony stood out to us as an important reminder that students' needs must be the primary determinant when developing education policy. We are grateful that Edwin has permitted us to publish his written testimony below.
