(HARTFORD, CT) — Last month, parents of the Moylan Montessori School in the Behind the Rocks neighborhood of Hartford were informed that the school would be moved to West Hartford. Although the Mayor committed years ago to finding a Hartford location for Moylan Montessori, the City has failed to identify a site in Hartford. Parents and neighbors of Moylan have petitioned to keep Moylan in the community – as promised by the City in years past.
In a statement, Bronin said: “The City of Hartford has known for years that Moylan Montessori needed a new home, but kicked the can down the road year after year — and then decided that there was no option but to move this quality, local public school to West Hartford. We can do better than that. The parents and neighbors of Moylan, who have petitioned to keep their school in Hartford deserve to be heard. This is a moment for leadership, and I urge the Mayor to identify a specific, suitable site before it’s too late to keep Moylan in Hartford – and before Hartford loses a quality local school.”
