While Connecticut ranks among states with the highest levels of education spending, most of that does not derive from the state itself but from municipal budgets.

The School + State Finance Project – a non-partisan education policy organization – is raising a red flag about millions in budget cuts they say will affect Kindergarten through high school (K-12) students and the districts they attend.
