Something I came across while contacting mayors and selectmen in our district for the proclamation was the fact that we were not listed on town web pages or on public school pages. I have begun to reach out to the 15+ towns in our school district to have an adult education link on town and public school sites. I have notified my state board as well so that they may make other adult educations in Connecticut aware of this free publicity opportunity.
