These files, from the Connecticut State Department of Education, detail the Minimum Budget Requirement (MBR) for each town.

All Connecticut towns have a MBR that — with some exceptions — they must adhere to in providing funding to their local school districts. According to the MBR, a town may not budget less for education than it did in the previous fiscal year, unless it can demonstrate specific achievements or changes within the town’s local school district.
