This year’s event offered a unique platform for families and community partners to engage with our All Voices, Our Future strategic planning process, hear initial findings, and contribute their perspectives on the future of Hartford Public Schools. You can watch the entire event here in English and in Spanish, and explore the presentations in English and Spanish.
