Danbury receives grant for post-education support for students

The Danbury Public School District recently received funding from the Barr Foundation for its initiative “Portrait of the Graduate.” The program will focus on making sure that all graduates are well prepared for jobs and careers after high school.  The Boston-based Barr Foundation’s mission is to invest in human, natural and creative potential to elevate the arts, advance solutions for climate change, and connect all students to success in high school and beyond.  All Danbury schools, from pre-K to grade 12, will be engaged in the process, but  Assistant Superintendent Dr. Kevin Walston says this is a community initiative not just schools.  Officials will be reaching out to residents, students, teachers, business and community partners to help inform curriculum revisions from elementary through secondary education.  A steering committee is working to organize a Danbury Coalition.
