UCONN Torrington CT branch closing

Before investing more in colleges how about thinking of the Little Ones and help them succeed through high school..and yes if possible onto college..

I have not heard any feed back about the idea of helping young students enter kindergarten and first grade at a more mature age, so they are developmentally prepared to do the important learning at those ages and mature to take advantage of college level programs in high school...and head off to college with more skills and confidence. Massachusetts (the Berkshires) has a two year program for the younger k'garten kids.

Many parents wanted that for all kids (and the work and options really do open up fast after first grade.

After UCONN Torrington CT closing, What Other Schools or Programs May Get Cut? How about More Prevention and Proactive Planning for All in Life?

This is a summary from a post I put out there. Need to go soon but condolences to the UCONN Torrington Community. Hope the Waterbury and Winsted Options can allow you to stay in the area or pursue your education. For staff, that may be more challenging but again, I hope you can find ways to stay in the area or keep connected if you branch out. Read up locally in our state and community about state funds being cut from schools or other programs you care about.
 
The property taxes could be raised to help offset increases to keep programs in place people need.
