Description

Connecticut’s special education student population has surged past 95,000—up 23% in a decade—straining budgets and forcing districts to spend more per student, often resorting to costly outplacements or launching in-house programs. With local property taxes and state grants falling short, educators and advocates are demanding systemic reform, including regionalized services or a complete overhaul of funding. The spike is fueled by improved diagnostics, heightened advocacy, pandemic impacts, and rising autism diagnoses. Governor Lamont’s Blue Ribbon Commission is now tasked with crafting a more sustainable, equitable funding model for K-12 education.

Jury Awards $4M for Stolen Protein Tech | Hartford News

A federal jury just awarded Yale and Biohaven a whopping $4 million after finding RA Capital and Avilar Therapeutics willfully stole Yale’s proprietary protein degradation tech, MODA. The case, filed in March 2023, centered on confidential data RA Capital accessed in 2019 during a failed deal — data allegedly used to launch Avilar, a rival company. The jury sided with plaintiffs, ruling RA Capital breached confidentiality and misappropriated key trade secrets worth $2 million each, totaling $4 million. RA Capital called the verdict “modest” and denied wrongdoing, while Biohaven and Yale hailed the win as a victory for innovation and integrity in biotech partnerships.
