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.
The Connecticut School Finance Project has updated the 2006 District Reference Groups to determine what they would look like today. The 2016 DRGs were determined through calculations by the Connecticut School Finance Project and are not official classifications produced by the Connecticut State Department of Education. While the 2016 DRGs listed are not official, they were calculated using the same cluster analysis methodology and variables used by the CSDE in 2006 to determine the current DRGs.
