Bring equity to the Danbury school system
As a lifelong Danbury resident, I am compelled to respond to the recent piece about Faith Acts’ plea for Governor Lamont to fund our schools equitably. While Faith Acts primarily operates in Bridgeport and New Haven, Danbury struggles with the same issues of school segregation they work to address.
We see the same inequity when looking at how much neighboring towns such as Bethel, New Fairfield or Ridgefield are spending per pupil compared to Danbury. When looking at these disparities, it is hard to overlook that Danbury schools largely serve students of color.

Clergy from Connecticut’s three largest cities reminded Gov. Ned Lamont this week that he needs their support to win reelection, and they challenged him to earn it by tackling the “racist and classist” way the state funds the struggling, segregated schools in their neighborhoods.
If not the first public overture to the governor by a Democratic constituency group about the 2022 campaign, the clergy’s 40-minute online talk with the governor on Tuesday was the bluntest. They kicked off the talk with some political math: The 55,000 votes cast for Lamont from their communities exceeded his 44,000-vote margin of victory.
