- Work cooperatively with other state and national administrative organizations to promote and advocate for quality public education.
The new organization, CALAS- Connecticut Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendents,which is the state chapter of the national organization ALAS, was founded by a group of school leaders from New Haven dedicated to expanding resources and opportunities for Hispanic/Latino educators.
They have partnered with CAS – Connecticut Association of Schools, as they seek to expand their membership and bring their mission to life in CT.
