STAMFORD Bobby Valentine is taking the field.
The Stamford native, Rippowam High School graduate, former Major League Baseball player and New York Mets manager, and current college athletics director announced Friday that he is running for mayor.

Despite the challenges of the year, superintendents from across the state said they are beholden to state requirements for high school graduation, so graduation standards will remain fairly consistent statewide. Although many superintendents said they would not reduce students’ credit requirements for graduation, many said their districts would be making additional efforts to help their students cross the finish line.
