  • Dear Members of the Public Health Committee

    Dear Members of the Public Health Committee

    Dear Members of the Public Health Committee, Typically during testimony, I would explain how this bill impacts my family specifically, but today I want to talk about the numbers. The whole impetus of this bill which aims to remove the religious exemption right now is not because of an emergency or public health crisis, but because of the possibility of one in the future. The Department of Public Health released vaccination data that shows an increase in the use of the religious exemption from one year to the next and “dangerous pockets” of low vaccination rates. I’ve poured over the numbers like children’s lives depend on it, because, frankly it does. The data I’ve used is from the Department of Public Health immunization surveys and the Department of Education’s student enrollment numbers for the 2018-2019 school year. But unfortunately there are many flaws in the data: • Using the supplied data and getting less than one child with an RE or percentages of a child. • Enrollment was less than 30 students and data was still supplied. • Schools with only Pre-Kindergarten students are used in the averages. I’m going to focus on the public school numbers since they are available from the State of CT EdSight database. For public schools, the increase from last school year to the previous year is an average of one religious exemption per public school. ONE. In the 2018-2019 school year there were 530,612 students in public K-12. With an overall exemption rate of 1.8%, that accounts for 9,551 RE.

    Academic Year 2018-2019 COMMON

    Academic Year 2018-2019 COMMON ADMISSION TESTING PROGRAM (For students applying to 3rd and 4th grades in September 2018) Brunswick School, Sacred Heart Greenwich Greenwich Academy, The Greenwich Country Day School King School, The Stanwich School, Whitby School Overview Many families in the Greenwich/Stamford area apply to more than one local independent school. Because all the schools in the program screen applicants using sections of the Educational Records Bureau, CTP 4, a common testing program eliminates multiple testing for the applicant and provides families greater flexibility in scheduling. Standardized testing is only one aspect of the admissions process. Consideration is also given to school records, school visits and family interviews. Observation of younger children and other special evaluations may also be required depending upon the school and grade level. Regardless of which school serves as the test center, parents may request test results to be sent to any independent school in the program. Scheduling Tests are offered 7 Saturdays between November 4, 2017 and January 20, 2018. We encourage applicants to take this required test as early as possible to provide make-up time in the event of unanticipated illness or a weather cancellation. Please check each school’s application deadlines, allowing 15 days for ERB to send test results to the schools. Description of Tests Applicants will be given sections of the Educational Records Bureau, CTP 4. These assessments include achievement tests in reading comprehension and mathematics. The tests are objective and multiple-choice in format. In addition, students will be assigned a writing sample on a given topic.
