State Senator Will Haskell, whose district includes Bethel, Redding and Ridgefield, has sent a letter to Governor Lamont urging his administration to give more flexibility to local school districts in developing COVID-19 plans. Haskell says individual school districts should determine how and when to re-open for in-person classes. He wants them to be allowed to put in place hybrid plans that reduce the risk of infection without falling behind on valid school days.
