Norwich Free Academy plans $2M football field, track renovation

While Norwich Free Academy has been in the process of updating its facilities, the school will soon start another update project. Head of School Nathan Quesnel formally announced the school’s plans to renovate the football field and track during the NFA Annual Corporator Meeting on Nov. 5. Work will begin after this school year’s graduation. The last time the field was updated was back in 1999, so the current field has “outlived its useful life,” Quesnel said. Other ongoing or completed NFA projects Quesnel highlighted include renovations to the cafeteria and Slater Hall and the creation of The Grid computer room in the library for the school’s e-sports team, which started the prior school year. What’s the plan? The new football field will features state of the art synthetic truth, a new track, a press box in the bleachers, new bathrooms, a new concession stand. This project will also include a new wildcat statue located on the other side of campus, where the historic beech tree once stood, Quesnel said. The project is expected to cost $2 million, which includes state funds. The school has also already secured a major donor to the project, Quesnel said. More: Norwich Free Academy

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

Can The Mind Trust succeed outside of Indiana? This state’s charter school sector will find out.

Did you know search engines like Google are changing the way you see news? Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. An influential Indianapolis nonprofit that has incubated charter schools while advocating for school choice will soon test its strategies beyond the Hoosier State with the help of a federal grant. The Mind Trust, which has helped launch more than 50 Indiana charter schools since 2006, is primed to more than double the number of students in Connecticut charter schools using grant money awarded by the federal government in September. The federal grant gives the nonprofit a significant opportunity to replicate its vision beyond Indiana, and raise the organization’s profile and influence. But the move carries risk, because The Mind Trust is pursuing a state far less engaged in charter schools and school choice. The Mind Trust seeks to increase the number of Connecticut charter schools with about $69 million in funding from the Charter Schools Program. A majority of the money would go to schools through subgrants. Indiana’s Department of Education also applied for and received this grant in 2023. The Mind Trust created
