Zip Code Shouldn't Dictate Future | Hartford News

Ryan Fazio, Connecticut’s Republican gubernatorial hopeful, is firing up the education debate with a bold school choice platform — arguing that a student’s zip code shouldn’t determine their future. He zeroes in on the racial achievement gap, spotlighting successful non-traditional schools like Capital Prep and Stamford Charter as proof that the current system fails. Fazio wants to scrap lotteries and waitlists to give every kid access to their top pick — a move that could shake up local districts by shifting state funding. While he shares Lamont’s support for reading science and cellphone bans, he accuses the governor of eight years of educational decline. His plan? Big, but vague — needing hundreds of millions in funding without a clear budget. Lamont’s camp counters that Fazio’s charter school focus ignores urban families’ needs.
