| This Thursday, October 16th, I will be hosting an Education Forum starting at 6:00 p.m. at Derby Town Hall. Parents, grandparents, and educators are all encouraged to attend. 
 The forum will feature a presentation by the School + State Finance Project to help parents and guardians better understand how state education funding works, the increase in funding for schools in recent years, and where they can see the impacts of this investment. This is an excellent opportunity for parents and guardians to ask questions, learn more about how state dollars support their local classrooms, and hear what the legislature has done to strengthen our schools.
 
 State Representative Welander, State Senator Cabrera, State Representative Jennifer Leeper, Chair of the Education Committee, and State Representative Maryam Khan, Chair of the Special Education Subcommittee, will join me to answer your questions and provide information on where guardians can access the variety of resources and services available to families.
 
 I hope to see you there!
