Connecticut's public school districts receive nearly $553 million annually in funding from the federal government. This funding is provided to districts for a variety of purposes, such as school breakfast and lunch programs, special education services, multilingual learner education, and academic improvement initiatives.
Amid recent federal funding uncertainty and proposed — and some implemented — changes impacting federal education policies and the roles and functions of the U.S. Department of Education, we're helping district leaders, policymakers, and families navigate the uncertainty by providing nonpartisan information and resources that build knowledge and connect the dots from federal funding to local communities.
Check out some of our recent resources, linked below, on federal education funding and policies.
