Please see Dr. Sal's note below.
Dear Board Members:
This current year has been the most challenging to date in my fifteen years as Superintendent of Danbury schools, yet in many ways, it was one of the most rewarding. Despite our challenges, I have had the opportunity to see our school community grow and rapidly transform in ways that were not previously thought possible. I am proud of our teachers, staff, parents and students who have come together under great pressure and uncertainty to help one another navigate a radical shift in teaching and learning, while also supporting friends and neighbors in securing food and basic supplies to help during these difficult times. The Danbury Public Schools and our community at large will always be defined by their willingness to embrace diversity, work together for the greater good, and ensure that all of our children have a chance to succeed.
