Connecticut has one psychiatric hospital for the children private providers won't take and other hospitals can't safely handle.
It's licensed for 50 beds. This summer, hospital leaders capped it at 24 — while children waited to get in.
We asked for the records. 🧵

It sure pays to be a state employee: When she "retires" on Oct. 1 now former CCSU President Zulma Toro will get a check for about $124k in accrued vacation and sick time. About $84K for unused vacation and aboiut $40k in sick time.

I interviewed former President Toro at the end of June.
If you told me that less than three months after that interview she’d be resigning, I think I would’ve laughed. Crazy how quickly things can change.
Toro submitted her resignation to CSCU officials early Wednesday morning and then sent an email to the Central community. She resigns in the middle of an investigation into her bullying tactics at an administrative retreat first reported by the Examiner. ctexaminer.com/2026/09/23/to…

In a 10-paragraph email to the Central community Toro wrote: It is time now for new leadership to tackle the challenges ahead. The last few weeks have been unbelievably hard on me, my family, and so many across our Central community.
