Alberts Hails Grants for Brooklyn Schools, Ellis Tech

State Rep. Mike Alberts, R-50th, announced that Brooklyn Public Schools will receive $65,000 for technology improvements. At Ellis Technical High School in Danielson, $177,500 will go toward roof repair and replacement and $100,000 is for other improvements.

The grants are scheduled for final approval January 26 at the monthly state Bond Commission meeting, headed by Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell.

Rep. Alberts thanked Gov. M. Jodi Rell for approving the grants which he had advocated at the recommendation of town and school leaders.

“We are extremely fortunate that the governor and her administration recognized the needs of northeastern Connecticut and approved our requests for this state assistance,” said Rep. Alberts. “I toured Ellis Technical High School last year at the invitation of concerned parents and saw first-hand the poor conditions that these funds will begin to address.”
