Waterbury Republican-American: Law would close gap on education funding throughout state

If signed into law, the state’s Education Cost Sharing Grant, which supports all local and regional school districts, would be fully funded beginning in 2024-25. That means more than $275 million would be invested across 164 public school districts in the state.

Waterbury would receive the highest amount with an additional $24.8 million. This fiscal year’s grant is worth $157.2 million.
