Danbury schools to get more state funding over proposed budget

Danbury Public Schools will get more funding from the state under the budget approved by the House last night.  Representatives David Arconti, Bob Godfrey, Ken Gucker and Raghib Allie-Brennan say Danbury will get $2.6 million more in  education cost sharing funds for fiscal year 2020 than it did in the previous fiscal year, and another increase in fiscal year 2021.  The House Danbury Democratic legislative delegation says they worked together seeking an increased and fair investment in Danbury’s education funding share – a key priority for the lawmakers.  They noted that the budget also does not move some teachers’ pension cost to towns.
