NEW HAVEN - Reginald Mayo was superintendent of schools when the late Jeffie Frazier was principal of Helene W. Grant School, yet he always wore his best shirt and tie when he visited the school he didn’t want to catch any flack for not looking good enough.
“She was a no-nonsense type of person,” Mayo, now retired, said of the late Frazier. “Jeffie didn’t work for me - I worked for her. … Working for Jeffie, I became a better person, superintendent.”

NEW HAVEN At 8:30 p.m. Feb. 6, New Haven recorded its sixth homicide of the year, when Kevin Jiang was shot to death on Lawrence Street.
Unlike the five homicides preceding it, the crime made national headlines because Jiang was a Yale student. It s a fact that brought a level of attention that the other slayings didn t receive.
Mayor Justin Elicker said while Jiang s killing has brought the most media attention, it s important for us to underscore the loss of other members of our community and that tragedy, as well, and all of these losses impact the city and in turn the university.
