Minimum Budget Requirement (MBR) by Town (CT State Department of Education)

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.
