Education & Safety: A hearing is underway on whether Harvard H. Ellis Tech assistant principal Rolando Navarro’s educator certificates should be suspended after a gun was found in his car in 2021. Energy & Environment: Connecticut is exploring new nuclear power plant siting, while elsewhere the debate over aging dams and hydroelectric relicensing is heating up. Local STEM/Community: Killingly’s animal science and ag pathways keep students doing hands-on work through FFA. Politics: Former Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin won the Democratic endorsement over 14-term Rep. John Larson, setting up an August primary.
