Retiring New Britain superintendent on school troubles: 'We forgot how to be together'

It’s been an eventful year school year with everyone having to get used to in-person learning again. On top of that, New Britain schools had to deal with protests about an increased level of violence and vandalism earlier in the year.

In advance of her retirement this summer as Superintendent of The Consolidated School District of New Britain, Nancy Sarra joined us on "All Things Considered."

John Henry Smith is Connecticut Public’s host of All Things Considered, its flagship afternoon news program. He's proud to be a part of the team that won a regional Emmy Award for The Vote: A Connecticut Conversation. In his 21st year as a professional broadcaster, he’s covered both news and sports.
