Department of Social Services

The Connecticut Department of Social Services, headquartered at 25 Sigourney Street in Hartford, Connecticut, functions as an active, state-operated agency within the 2024–2025 public school reporting dataset. Situated in a midsize city environment within the Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford metropolitan area, this non-charter entity maintains a unique role compared to traditional educational districts. The agency operates zero instructional schools and offers no active grade levels, spanning from prekindergarten, elementary, and secondary grades through adult education or ungraded instruction.

In alignment with its administrative function, the agency reports zero full-time equivalent support staff and zero total full-time equivalent personnel within the district's staffing records. Located within Congressional District 0901, State Senate District 09001, and State House District 09003, the entity serves as a state-level administrative body rather than a local classroom-based district. Families, students, and researchers looking to connect with the department can reach their office by phone at (860) 424-5129 or access online resources through their official website at http://www.dss.state.ct.us.
