Connecticut Senate President Bob Duff and Democratic leaders in the Connecticut state house, announced plans to allocate an additional $40 million from the state surplus to supplement special education funding. This decision follows widespread concerns from local districts about the financial strain of special education, with lawmakers emphasizing their commitment to long-term solutions. Responding to concerns from districts, this effort will provide assurance to cities and towns to meet the needs of their students. "If you talk to any superintendent or board of education member in Connecticut and they'll tell you that this funding is critical for them and it will make a huge difference in this fiscal year," said Duff.
