ECS Formula Interactive Tool

Ever wonder what would happen if you changed part of the Education Cost Sharing (ECS) formula? Now you can! Our interactive tool gives you control of the ECS formula and allows you to change specific parts of the formula and see instantly how your changes impact the state budget and town ECS grants.

Helpful Tips for Using the Tool
