ACES Advocates for Education on Capitol Hill!

ACES joined LEARN and fellow RESC Alliance partners at the AESA Advocacy in Action Conference in Washington, D.C., connecting with U.S. House and Senate offices to discuss important federal education priorities.

Conversations focused on funding for magnet schools, Head Start, technology access, teacher preparation, and policies that impact the students, families, educators, and school districts we serve.

We're proud to collaborate with our RESC partners to ensure Connecticut's educational needs are represented at the federal level!
