SB 860 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING FUNDING FOR EASTCONN.

SB 860 appropriates funds from the General Fund to the Department of Education for a grant-in-aid to EASTCONN, a regional educational service center in Connecticut. The bill directs this funding specifically to expand services for rural communities during the 2025-2026 fiscal year. It does not change existing laws but allocates new resources to support EASTCONN's work in underserved rural areas. This is a straightforward funding measure targeting improved educational access in rural Connecticut.
