Our friends at the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education [“CABE”], the Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents [“CAPSS”] and the Connecticut Association of Schools [“CAS’] are sponsoring a program on issues facing LGBT students in our schools, and how schools may best address these issues and provide a supportive environment while complying with various legal mandates.
Entitled “Supporting LGBT Youth: Their Journey in Our Schools,” this program will feature a variety of speakers addressing the appropriate level of support that schools should provide LGBT youth in the various facets of school and student life. This program will take place on Monday, October 5, 2015 at 9:00 AM in Cheshire. For further information on this enlightening program, please click here.
