Connecticut teachers excited by possibilities after midterm elections

Connecticut educators are eager to work with new state lawmakers. Democrats won large congressional majorities in the midterms but also grew their majority in the state’s General Assembly. It came as federal funding cuts imperiled state education programs, while slim majorities kept vital education legislation from becoming law. Some priorities include paying student teachers and making teacher salaries more competitive. Kate Dias, president of the Connecticut Education Association, said another priority is updating the state’s education funding formula . “The fact that we have based our education cost-sharing formula in 2013 and haven’t adjusted it for inflation since, so when we say we’re fully funding education, we’re fully funding it in 2013 dollars, not in 2026,” Dias explained. She expects it will be a suggestion from Gov. Ned Lamont’s Blue Ribbon Commission on K-12 education funding and accountability. Since the state does not account for inflation in education funding, communities must use property tax dollars to make up the difference. But since some municipalities cannot do it, they face larger class sizes and lower teacher salaries. Teachers in Connecticut and nationwide are breathing a sigh of relief about the election results. Dias noted teachers feel a sense of academic freedom

Before the Algorithm Decides: Connecticut’s 2027 Rules for Artificial Intelligence in Employment

Beginning in 2027, Connecticut employers using artificial intelligence (AI) in recruiting or workforce management will face new disclosure requirements under Connecticut Public Act 26-15, enacted in 2026 as part of the state’s broader legislation regulating AI. Similar to employers in other states , Connecticut employers should begin evaluating their AI technologies, especially as failure to provide appropriate notice to employees and applicants may result in liability under the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act (CUPTA). What Technology Is Covered? The law regulates “automated employment-related decision technology,” defined generally as technology that processes personal data and generates an output, such as a prediction, recommendation, classification, ranking, or score, that is a “substantial factor” in making or materially influencing an employment-related decision. A substantial factor is one that “meaningfully alters” the outcome of the decision. The definition of an employment-related decision is broad. It includes decisions concerning hiring, promotion, discipline, discharge, renewal of employment, selection for training or apprenticeships, tenure, and other terms, privileges, or conditions of employment. However, the law excludes certain nonmaterial job changes as well as decisions involving workplace health and safety, scheduling and planning, or productivity monitoring. Notice Requirements Beginning October 1, 2027, employers using covered technology must disclose,
