Final Report (Connecticut State Post-Employment Benefits Commission)

On February 3, 2010, Governor M. Jodi Rell issued an executive order establishing the State Post-Employment Benefits Commission to examine the unfunded liabilities, costs, and budgetary impacts associated with the State's public pension systems and other post-employment benefits (OPEB). The governor executive order charged the Commission with delivering a report that: 1) identified the amount and extent of unfunded liabilities for pensions and other post-employment benefits; 2) compared and evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of various approaches for addressing unfunded pension liabilities and post-employment benefits; and 3) Proposed short and long-term plans for addressing unfunded pension liabilities and post-employment benefits.

CCJEF v. Rell (2010)

The Connecticut Supreme Court ruled a lower court erred in dismissing claims filed in 2005 by the Connecticut Coalition for Justice in Education Funding. CCJEF filed suit on behalf of students and families, contending the state’s failure to properly fund public schools inadequately prepares students for higher education and employment opportunities. The Court held the state constitution requires "public schools provide their students with an education suitable to give them the opportunity to be responsible citizens able to participate fully in democratic institutions, such as jury service and voting, and to prepare them to progress to institutions of higher education, or to attain productive employment and otherwise to contribute to the state's economy." The decision allows plaintiffs to continue to pursue their suit that the state has failed to adequately fund its lowest-performing schools.

Published sporadically from 1986-2009, the Connecticut General Assembly's Office of Fiscal Analysis' Connecticut Revenue and Budget Data report (also referred to as the Tax Facts report) was designed as a "reference tool for legislators interested in putting the state's revenue and budget picture into historical perspective." Each report contains data for 20 years or more regarding "major state taxes and some of the basic expenditure items most often asked for by state legislators." The reports also contain sections discussing "important issues and major state and municipal programs or funds of interest to legislators."

Research Bulletin: District Reference Groups, 2006 (CT State Department of Education)

District Reference Groups (DRGs) is a classification system in which districts that have public school students with similar socioeconomic status (SES) and need are grouped together. The 2006 DRGs are the fourth generation of the State Department of Education’s classification of school districts. The groups are based on seven variables (income, education, occupation, family structure, poverty, home language, and district enrollment). All variables were based upon families with children attending public school.
