On behalf of the New London Board of Education, we want to acknowledge with gratitude voter support to invest in our children's future. We now can move forward in creating the most effective educational experience for future generations to come. Your "yes" vote was a vote of confidence in our education plan. We will be able to provide the children in southeastern Connecticut with exceptional educational experiences and access to world-class teachers and curriculum in state-of-the-art buildings that support learning experience at its best.

The construction of a new, New London High School, and the complete renovation of Bennie Dover Jackson Middle School means that all children, regardless of social, economic or culture status will have equal access to all educational opportunities. Over the last few years, New London Public Schools has positioned itself to become a regional system of high performing schools. In the next several years, we will become Connecticut's only all-magnet K-12 school district - a dynamic transition that will set New London Public Schools apart. The Board of Education is also committed to sharing all processes relating to the construction and renovation of our two schools with the public.
