How Connecticut funds schools

Connecticut funds schools through the Education Cost Sharing (ECS) grant: a per-student foundation amount ($11,525) weighted up for students in poverty (+30%), English learners (+25%) and concentrated poverty (+15%), reduced by a wealth-adjusted local contribution so property-poor towns receive a higher state share. The formula is scheduled to reach full funding in FY2026.
