The states birth rate is now the lowest in the nation, with just under 500,000 students in schools this year, a 14% decrease from 2006. This trend is also linked to stricter immigration policies, which have reduced international migration and multilingual learners in schools. The impact is most visible in younger grades, with kindergarten enrollment slightly increasing while first and second graders saw significant drops. This shift in student demographics is reshaping Connecticuts school systems. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
