NEON: Ben Franklin, Nathaniel Ely Closed Through Weekend

Although NEON continues to fully cooperate with Community Development Institute (CDI,) in an effort to re-open Norwalk’s Head Start program at Norwalk’s Nathaniel Ely School and Ben Franklin Center at the earliest possible date, the schools will remain closed through the weekend, according to a release on Thursday on behalf of Rev. Tommie Jackson, Interim CEO/President of NEON Inc .  

CDI is coordinating their deliberations on re-opening both schools with the federal Administration for Children and Families offices in both Washington, D. C. and Boston.

CDI was appointed by the federal Administration for Children and Families to administer Norwalk Head Start while NEON’s management of the program is under suspension.
