Funding

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.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Wolcott School District are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.
