Superintendent Dr. Kara Casimiro highlights, “We have always prided ourselves on providing learning environments and opportunities for students that advance all of our learners to the greatest potential, while also working in partnership with our families and communities. It is a truly community driven experience, providing the highest level of opportunities we can for our students.” FROM CRISIS TO INNOVATION When the pandemic hit in March 2020, Danbury Schools quickly adapted to the sudden shift to online learning. Dr. Casimiro recounts, “We were fortunate. We have a small but very mighty team here, and we were able to convert fairly quickly over to an online platform and digitize all of our curriculum.” Teams delivered hundreds of devices door-todoor, ensuring students were connected. The swift response was a testament to the dedication and collaboration of Danbury’s leadership and staff, earning the district praise for its rapid transition. 389 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 05, ISSUE 10 DANBURY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
