Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff (D-Norwalk), received an ‘A’ grade from the Connecticut Education Association’s 2025 legislator report card, indicating his continued support for Connecticut education and the state’s teaching workforce.
Senator Duff received a 90.7% score for his 2025 legislative session, following his votes earlier this year in support of key educational priorities including the state budget’s increases to municipal education funding and expansions of special education funding.
“Education is the foundation of a strong future, and I am proud to continue fighting for the resources and support our teachers and students need in the classroom,” said Sen. Duff. “This recognition from the Connecticut Education Association reflects our collective commitment to ensuring that every child has access to a high-quality education, regardless of their background.”
Senator Duff received his score for supporting policies including the state budget, which increased education funding for many municipalities and expanded special education support; increases to special education grants statewide; support for universal pre-kindergarten supporting young children and families alike; and improvements to school indoor air quality through equipment upgrades. He also voted for legislation requiring procedures for the consideration of book challenges in school libraries, has increased Norwalk’s school construction state reimbursement rate to 60% from 22.5% and is actively working to build new schools here too.
Supporting teaching priorities, Sen. Duff also voted in support of expansions of scholarships for aspiring educators and the establishment of an improved legal standard and arbitration during teacher terminations.
