SB 1511 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING DISCONNECTED YOUTH.

SB 1511 establishes Connecticut's Preschool through Twenty and Workforce Information Network (CP20 WIN), a data-sharing system across state agencies to track youth from early education through workforce entry. It defines "disconnected youth" as ages 14-18 at risk of dropping out of school and "disconnected young people" as ages 19-26 not in work, education, or skill development. The bill creates an executive board to oversee the network, enabling agencies like education, workforce development, and corrections to securely share longitudinal data. This system aims to inform policies supporting at-risk youth, though it does not create new funding or direct services. The bill updates related definitions (e.g., school funding formulas) but focuses on data infrastructure rather than immediate program changes.
