Connecticut

Connecticut’s fiscal year (FY) 2025 education maintains investment in both K–12 and higher education despite ongoing fiscal constraints. Base funding for K–12 and special education is largely unchanged, with additional resources directed toward high-need districts and charter schools. Special education funding continues to rely on the Excess Cost Grant and its tiered reimbursement structure, while charter school funding remains consistent with prior levels. Higher education appropriations show only minor adjustments, alongside continued efforts to improve administrative efficiency through centralized human resources.
