While the group's focus is on SB 454 (now renamed as SB 738), we will watch similar bills being proposed. This group is created to communicate, share information, and coordinate efforts to stop SB 454 (SB 738)."

Resident Steve Messaua started a petition on Change.org "NO to CT School District Consolidation (Proposed Bill 738/454)" that has garnered 4,424  signatures (and counting). The Petition states, "Please join me to petition Proposed Bill 738/454. This must be dropped immediately as it will have an immediate impact on many smaller towns in CT. The proposed bill offers no benefits and has already had an impact in our community."
