The agency maintains the Special Education Resource Center and the <a href=\"https:\/\/ctserc.org\/library\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SERC Library<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canady said the organization\u2019s services have increased over the years and SERC currently supports and provides resources to children and families, a variety of organizations, and a total of 169 school districts across the state.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agency\u2019s main goals going into 2023 include raising awareness of their services to Connecticut\u2019s diverse communities and moving their headquarters to Waterbury, CT.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ll be located in what used to be\u2026the Timexpo Museum. Now, it\u2019s going to be hosting the SERC\u2019s main offices, our professional development classrooms, and our library. So we\u2019re very excited about that,\u201d Canady said.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this month&#8217;s episode, Canady also spoke about statements the agency has published that address national tragedies, which continue to impact educational environments across the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe wanted to provide support, services, and resources,\u201d Canady said. \u201c[Like] how can parents speak to their children about it, how can teachers find ways to talk about this in the classroom, because reality is reality and we cannot let our guard down but at the same time we want to make sure that we continue to live our lives, [maintain] safe environments so that we can be who we are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
