The Connecticut legislature is considering important legislation to strengthen fair process protections for Connecticut educators, and lawmakers need to hear directly from you.
House Bill 5003 and Senate Bill 351 would ensure that serious disciplinary and termination decisions are made through a fair, neutral process and based on facts—not politics, personal bias, or rushed decision‑making. These bills are about fairness, professionalism, and protecting the educators our schools depend on.
Educators deserve the same due process protections as other professionals. When decisions that impact an educator’s career and reputation are handled fairly and objectively schools are more stable, experienced educators stay in the profession, and students benefit.
Please take a few minutes today to contact your state legislators. Personalize the message provided with your own experience and perspective and send it along. Personal messages make a difference and help lawmakers understand why fair process protections matter in real classrooms and real communities.
Together, we can stand up for fairness, protect our profession, and ensure that Connecticut’s schools remain strong places to teach and learn.
