Over a year in the making, the 119K Commission released its comprehensive, 120-page report on Wednesday detailing four strategic pillars and 22 “aligned” actions on how to reconnect 60,000 of the roughly 119,000 disconnected youth in Connecticut.
Advocates say they want more state support to ensure a more comprehensive approach to helping at-risk youth instead of piecemeal approaches to the problem.
119K Commission on at-risk and disconnected youth in Connecticut proposes drastic and sweeping changes to education and social services in the state.
"This is a bold, honest strategy that is in response to what we heard from young people, from teachers, from so many across the state," said Andrew Ferguson, co-CEO of the non-profit Dalio Education and co-chairperson of the 119k Commission, which produced the new report. "I'm very excited by the integration, the holistic, comprehensive picture here."
