Board of Education and Services for the Blind
In 2003, the Connecticut General Assembly passed, and Governor Rowland signed, Public Act 03-217, which changed the appointment process for the Executive Director of the Board of Education & Services for the Blind (BESB). This Act also created a Council to monitor the activities of BESB in carrying out its mission and statutorily prescribed duties. In 2004 and 2005, the Monitoring Council was extended (Pubic Acts 04-90 and 05-5). In January, 2006, a final report was submitted.

In 2006, the Connecticut General Assembly passed, and Governor Rell signed, Public Act 06-124, which changed the make-up of the Board of Directors of the Board of Education and Services for the Blind.
