By Cara Baruzzi Register Business Editor cbaruzzi@newhavenregister.com During the first quarter of the year, 2,961 Connecticut businesses closed their doors, a 17 percent drop from the 3,477 that shut down in the first quarter of 2009, state officials said Friday.

The Lawrenceville school was forced to close Nov. 28 by the Pittsburgh School District-two days before Victoria's birthday. So she celebrated an impromptu "graduation" on closing day instead. When she attended Dible Elementary School in Penn Hills, she was passed to the 6th grade even though was getting Ds and Fs," said [Cordova Long-Eberhardt]. "At Career Connections, she got three Cs, a B and an A. She was making progress and able to work to make her life a successful one. "I have no choice," she said.
