PUBLIC CLASSES

From West Hartford Leisure Services:
"Regarding current use of school kitchens and cooking/demo stations... We have been told that use of those areas is no longer permitted."

So there you have it. I have been teaching in the culinary classrooms at Conard and Hall high schools since 1985 and now, with no reason given, adults are no longer permitted access to the very facilities their taxes pay for.
