Cheshire Public Schools is the school district of Cheshire, Connecticut, United States. In 1992 and 2024, the district had about 4300 students from kindergarten through high school level.[1][2]
In 1997, Cheshire's district superintendent Ralph Wallace announced that he "wouldn't recruit minority teachers in a thousand years," and made other critical comments about diversity goals,[3] leading to increased state monitoring and press coverage.[4] In 2024, the district spent $19,189 per student, and was ranked 109th out of 166 Connecticut school districts in per-pupil spending.[2]
