To help you navigate the revised state budget for fiscal year 2027, we've put together an analysis detailing all the education funding changes in the budget and what they mean for students in your community and across the state. Additionally, we've created a resource that lists the additional state education funding each town will receive and explains how that funded was calculated and will be distributed.
In an effort to provide valuable background information about the components of an effective school finance system, and offer options for policymakers to consider, the Connecticut School Finance Project created a comprehensive Funding Formula Guidebook. The Funding Formula Guidebook examines how Connecticut can achieve fair funding for its more than 540,000 students and details a framework for an equitable school finance system.
