New Haven Public Schools

New Haven Public Schools enrolls 20,000 students. The schools of the district are located in an urban area, and a total of 70 percent of the students are participating in the free or reduced-price lunch program.

The QZAB program in New Haven involves six schools, each of which will receive $1 million in bonding proceeds. The program will substantially renovate the school facilities in order to enhance day-to-day operations, as well as put forth a large effort to bolster the literacy program in kindergarten to eighth grade. Specific projects under the literacy program are reading intervention, improved library media services, and the use of computers in the instruction of reading.

Private partners of the New Haven schools include Coca-Cola Enterprise, Inc. of New England, the New Haven Club of the National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women?s Clubs, the SBC Foundation, Southern Connecticut State University School of Education, the VA Connecticut Healthcare System, and Yale University. Contributions from these partners are diverse and include funds, books, computers, software, field trips, internships, mentoring programs, and professional development.
