The school is holding an open house for prospective students interested in enrolling this March. The event will be held on Saturday from 9 to 11 a.m. at its facility at Sikorsky Airport.
Local legislators are also stepping up to help move the school forward. The Stratford delegation this month introduced a bill that would move the school from the Connecticut Technical High School System — its host school is Platt Technical High School in Milford — into the community college system.
State Rep. Joe Gresko, D-Stratford, said the action is related to a change in federal regulations that made students in the technical high school program ineligible for federal Pell grants to help pay for tuition and fees. “It just frees up options for students for funding,” Gresko said of the proposed move into the community college system.
