  • A Historical Timeline
    Southern Connecticut Conference A Historical Timeline Summer 1991 – A committee of five superintendents, led by chairman and Wallingford superintendent Joe Cirasuolo, begin to explore the possibility of a forming a super conference in the New Haven area. Members of the committee included John Onofrio (West Haven), Dave Shaw (Hamden), Steve Gordon (Bethany-Orange-Woodbridge) and Gene Coppola (Seymour). The impetus for these discussions was the plight of four area high schools who were forced to travel substantial distances in order to have a full sports schedule. Other concerns were raised including the changing size of student enrollment in area high schools and racial/ethic isolation. November 19, 1991 – The All Connecticut Conference is reduced to six schools after East Catholic of Manchester decides to leave the league at the conclusion of the 1991-92 school year. March 10, 1992 – A meeting was held at Carrigan Middle School in West Haven with area superintendents to discuss a proposal for a super conference. Thirty-two high schools were contacted about potential interest. October 1992 – Jim Benanto, athletic director at Shelton High School, agrees to chair a Planning Group to develop proposals about the mega conference, specifically divisional formats. January 19, 1993 – Twenty-seven schools attend a meeting hosted by Peter Young, executive director of ACES, with the purpose of reviewing proposals for the mega conference. May 13, 1993 – Twenty-one schools attend a meeting, led by Shelton athletic director Jim Benanto, to discuss and finalize proposal of a mega conference to area superintendents and principals. The conference would be divided into three divisions and three different scheduling formats are proposed for sponsored sports.

  • State Department of Education Announces High School AYP
    NEWS Connecticut Department of Education Dr. Betty J. Sternberg, Commissioner EMBARGOED September 7, 2005 State Department of Education Announces High School AYP (Hartford, Connecticut) – Seventy-two percent (130 out of 181) of Connecticut’s high schools achieved the standards for adequate yearly progress (AYP) under the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act based on performance on the 2005 Connecticut Academic Performance Test (CAPT). This year, high schools had to reach a higher benchmark in the percentage of students scoring at or above proficient than in previous years. For the last three years, at least 59 percent of the students tested needed to score at or above proficient in mathematics and 62 percent needed to score at or above proficient in reading. This year, high schools had to meet the following standards: o 69 percent of students must be proficient in mathematics; o 72 percent must be proficient in reading; o 70 percent of students graduate; and o 95 percent must participate in CAPT testing. Under NCLB regulations, the targets at or above proficient must increase at intervals until 2014, when 100 percent of all students are expected to be proficient. The graduation rate and participation rate requirements will remain constant. “While the standard went up 10 percentage points in each subject, the overall impact on the number of schools that did not meet AYP was minimal,” said Commissioner of Education Betty J. Sternberg. “While this is good news, we must sustain our collective efforts to help schools not making AYP and ensure that all students achieve at high levels.” A total of 51 high schools did not make AYP.
