Connecticut students returned to school on September 9, both in person and remotely. We had the chance to talk to the Superintendent of Hartford Public Schools Dr Leslie Torres Rodriguez about the accommodations the district made for students and teachers. As well as the student food distribution program providing breakfast and lunch during the pandemic and through the school year.
