Why would Norwalk hire one of Malloy’s key witnesses against fair school funding for Norwalk
There are many questions about why the Norwalk Board of Education would hire the extremely controversial and combative Steven Adamowski to be the community’s next superintendent of schools.
Adamowski has left a trail of destruction behind him. One need only ask parents, teachers, school administrators and taxpayers in Windham, New London and even Hartford.
But above all else, not only is Adamowski one of Governor Dannel Malloy’s closest advisors and allies when it comes to education, Adamowski – who is presently on the payroll of Malloy’s Department of Education – is one of Malloy’s star witnesses in the effort to derail and destroy the critically important CCJEF v.

CCJEF v. Rell is the case that correctly argues that Connecticut’s school funding system is unconstitutional and that Connecticut’s Governor and General Assembly have a Why would Norwalk hire one of Malloy’s key witnesses against fair school funding for Norwalk - Wait What?:
