Board of Education Cancels Meeting, will move to Thirteen Month Calendar

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The first New Haven Board of Education meeting on January 13, 2020 will be cancelled. Under the Freedom of Information Act, notice must be filed thirty days in advance of a regular meeting. The meeting on January 13^th would be deemed a special meeting; therefore, some of the planned agenda could not be accomplished.

New Haven Public Schools Chief Operating Officer Michael Pinto released the following statement:

“In order to appropriately conduct all the business planned for the January 13^th meeting, we must have a regular meeting. Unfortunately, our 2020 Board of Education calendar was released on December 23^rd, the January 13^th meeting would then be deemed a special meeting, and some decisions made in that meeting would potentially violate our bylaws. In order to correct this for future meetings, the Board of Education will move to adopt a thirteen-month calendar to give enough notice in the new calendar year to conduct business according to our bylaws.”

The next regular Board of Education meeting is scheduled for January 27, 2020.

How do you take your coffee? Please join The Mayor for a public, roundtable coffee discussion at Triple AAA Diner on Whalley Avenue on Tuesday, January 21st at 8:30AM.

In 2019 the City of New Haven closed out the year with twelve (12) homicides and seventy eight (78) shooting assaults. Of those shooting assaults five (5) were of victims under the age of eighteen, with two of those victims having been eight and nine years of age. Yes, the city saw an uptick in violent crime that we all need to be a part in addressing. This clearly shows that all of us, not just law enforcement, politicians, and those that serve second chance populations need to strive harder to decrease these numbers. To implement a decrease means that all of us, citizens, activists, service providers, and everyday folk need to work harder collectively to bring about this change. Let's put aside egos, personalities, and differences to make our streets safer for the young, the old, and those in jeopardy of being victims and perpetrators of gun violence.

Statement on the Puerto Rico State of Emergency

NEW HAVEN, Conn. ­– Puerto Rico was recently hit by a 6.4-magnitude earthquake, displacing thousands of residents; subsequently, many are without power and access to water. In the wake of the state of emergency in Puerto Rico, Mayor Justin M. Elicker and New Haven Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Ilene Tracey, released the following joint statement:

“The City of New Haven and New Haven Public Schools (NHPS) are prepared to receive residents and students from Puerto Rico in the wake of this most recent disaster–including those unaccompanied by a parent or guardian–and provide them with supplies, clothing, and transportation. Students will be assessed for bilingual education and special needs and will be placed in the appropriate classrooms. Resources to support all students and families received during this disaster will be covered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

The NHPS Youth, Family, and Community Engagement Department will be coordinating communications and will be a resource to students and families if they arrive in the school system.

We stand with Puerto Rico, and our hearts go out to all those affected by this disaster. The Elm City is ready to accommodate those seeking refuge in this perilous time.”

NHPS is offering services to existing students and incoming students affected by the earthquakes and can be coordinated through Daniel Diaz by calling (475) 220-1063.

Mayor Elicker Transition Team Releases Transition Report

NEW HAVEN, Conn. ­– Today, Mayor Justin Elicker and the twenty-five-member Transition Team held a press conference to announce their transition report. The transition report will detail the transition team’s recommendations to Mayor Elicker of what his administration’s goals should be for his first one-hundred days in office, as well as goals in his first term in office. This report is a culmination of work over the past two months; the Elicker Transition Team gathered public input across New Haven using surveys and hosting two public meetings at High School in the Community ahead of finalizing the report.

The Elicker Transition Team was co-chaired by State Rep. Robyn Porter, Sarah Miller, and Kica Matos who worked with two facilitators: Elizabeth Nearing and Kia Levey. The co-chairs released the following statement: “This report is a labor of love, and we are not only proud of the content, but also the process that we adopted. Working with a diverse, smart and dedicated transition team, we have produced a document that presents an exciting vision for the city that we all call home. The recommendations are reflective of the views of a wide cross section of city residents, hundreds of whom came together in the spirit of community to share their ideas, hopes and dreams for New Haven. We look forward to seeing the Mayor and his team bring these recommendations to life.”

“This report is a result of hundreds of hours of hard work from our Transition Team, who all volunteered this time because we all have a shared vision of New Haven where everyone can thrive. I want to thank our hardworking co-chairs, facilitators and all staff that made this possible. This report will be a guide for all City Departments to focus their important work in my first-term in office,” stated Mayor Elicker.
