Dan Haar: Reform? Firm in school construction inquiry removed in Hartford

The capital city is a few years into a $149 million super-renovation of Bulkeley, one of several high schools inside the city’s borders. If you’ve been following news of the statewide flap over school construction, you can guess what consulting firm joined the project last April.

That move was reversed the day after Diamantis retired.
