In a press conference today, Governor Dannel Malloy announced revisions to the Executive Order Resource Allocation Plan, along with new municipal aid distributions associated with the plan.
Malloy’s new plan maintains funding for thirty school districts in the neediest communities in Connecticut while reducing, and in many cases, eliminating, state education aid for other school districts. The news comes just weeks before the start of the 2017-2018 school year.
In a press release today, Malloy said, “In the absence of an adopted budget from the General Assembly, my administration is reallocating resources to pay for basic human services, education in our most challenged school districts, and the basic operation of government,” Governor Malloy said. “The municipal aid that is funded as part of this executive order reflects the nearly impossible decisions Connecticut must make in the absence of a budget. It will force some of our municipalities – both large and small – to make similarly difficult choices of their own.”
The following school districts will not receive any cost sharing from the state until a budget is passed.
