Norwalk Superintendent of Schools Alexandra Estrella prepares to read to Norwalk children in a March 2 NPS Read Across America video.
NORWALK, Conn. — The COVID-19 pandemic has created many additional challenges for students and families that the school system will have to address, school officials said, in addition to the annual challenges, such as enrollment and state funding.
To address some of these student-related issues such as learning loss, social emotional challenges, and other family-related challenges exacerbated by the pandemic, the district would like to add supports, personnel, and resources, but may have to make cuts to meet the budget put forward by the Common Council, Norwalk Public Schools Superintendent Alexandra Estrella said.
